What is a blog?

A blog is a discussion or informative site that consists of posts from a user or users. These posts are usually displayed in reverse chronological order. These blog posts are often based upon a certain subject such as make up and these posts can consist of writing, videos, audio or pictures. Blogs usually also allow followers to comment on posts and thus can be a place of discussion as well as information. Blogs also tend to be free to maintain and very rarely earn any revenue for the blogger.  An example of such a blog is http://www.pixiwoo.com/. This blog consists of posts based on a range of cosmetics from make up to perfume. A website on the other hand tend to be less personal than blogs and are maintained by a larger number of people or companies. Websites are used to promote and sell products as well as being used for other purposes such as education etc.
