16 Mar 10 What is a Blog?

A blog is most like a magazine. You would pick up a magazine and read the articles and look at the pictures. You would look at a blog website and read the articles and look at the pictures. If you like the articles, you would subscribe to the magazine so that you get the new articles in your mailbox every month. With a blog you would subscribe to get the new articles emailed to you as soon as they are written. You would give a magazine to a friend to look at an article you liked. You would share an article on a blog by clicking a “share this” link to post the link to the article on your facebook wall, or you would copy and paste the link in an email to your friends.

The one thing a blog does that a magazine does not is let you leave comments on the articles. So you might read a blog article and all the comments below the article one day – then go back the next day to read new comments or to respond to comments about your comment.
