What is a blog?

"Blog" is an abbreviated version of "weblog", it describes web sites that maintain and display entries in a chronological order similar to an online diary. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject, others are more like personal journals.

A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs and web pages. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of most blogs.

WordPress

The Blog hosting package comes pre-installed with the popular WordPress blogging software so you can start posting content immediately.

WordPress is very flexible with a wide range of plugins available that allow you to extend its functionality. With 100's of templates available it's easy to personalise your blog.
