A weblog(or blog) can be though of as an online journal that an individual can continuously update with his or her own words, ideas, and thoughts by using software that is very easy to do.
A weblog is different from a standard website. Weblog are made by typing directly trough the web-browser, but for a standard website you have to use a program or software to do so. Moreover, a weblog is interactive, in the dense that readers can respond to any given entry with a comment and even threaded discussions can take place depending on the software chosen.
