A BLOG is an informal online web journal that is usually focused on one subject or topic. A subscriber to the Web Site or Blog will post entries that will then be listed chronologically. Each BLOG entry will be identified by key words, or TAGs, which will then be used by search engines to help find topics of interest. After a BLOG entry is posted to a web site, a search engine web site is pinged to let it know that updates are available.
Blog probably is taken from the words WeB LOG.
