I have heard time and time again, people asking what is a blog? So here is  the official webgarden answer:

A blog is like a web journal where you can write your thoughts and ideas – it can be a particular subject, or just daily life – there are no rules! A typical blog combines text and pictures, as well as links to other blogs. One of the popular benefits of having a blog is that your readers (or yourself) has the option of typing in their comments.

A blog can be for business or personal use.The idea of a blog, is to develop an online community or following of people who enjoy reading your thoughts and ideas. A typical blog is displayed in chronological order – where the most current date is at the top followed by previous entries.

 There are multiple benefits to having a blog. The first and foremost being improved Google rankings. Why is this you may ask? Because each time you write in your blog, you are providing brand new content-and Google loves websites that are rich with content!
