Experts define weblogs as "frequently modified web pages in which dated entries are listed in reverse chronological sequence" (Herring, Scheidt, Bonus & Wright, 2004). Weblogs differentiate themselves from other websites because they are usually updated more regularly, often on a daily basis. Although many websites are also updated on a regular basis, Weblogs are usually solely dedicated for peoples personal opinions, thoughts and general happenings in and around their life.
Many people probably don't even realise that they are 'bloggers', as the rise of social networking sites such as Myspace and Facebook has integrated weblog-like features into their sites.
I personally believe that the rise of such social networking sites may lead to the death of Weblog specific sites, and these social sites add further dynamics to what blogging has offered, with more interaction from other users.
Below is a video showing you how to create a blog.
