What is a blog?
A blog is an online journal or web log. Watch //Blogs in Plain English// Common Craft at @http://www.commoncraft.com/blogs

Blogs vs Wikis
A blog is essentially a log or journal in which main entries appear in reverse chronological order but comments (possibly moderated) on the entries can be added by other people than the author at any time. Think of a wiki as a drawer in a filing cabinet. The pages, or files, can be taken out at different times by different people and, depending on your settings, those people can contribute to the pages.

=Examples= A straight forward blog but it looks like a web page is The Box Stops Here, a cooking blog. A good use of tagging. Dummy Essentials, about solutions to computer problems, is designed to no longer look like a chronological blog. (The same is true of Extreme Biology Blog by a high school biology class which was created in @WordPress)
