A blog is an on-line diary with an ability to display text, images, video and audio. Unlike websites, the pages in a blog are arranged in a reverse chronological order. Blogs have undergone much change since their inception. Now a days blogs are being used for grass root journalism, update information about a product or a company's progress, tutorials and what not. Most if not all the sites have an accompanying blog in order to provide the latest developments.
