A blog (short for Web log) is a type of Web page that features entries that provide a commentary on a single subject (the benefits of recycling household garbage) or a particular genre (politics, religion, green living, fashion, and so on).

A blog archive is a list of posts to the blog by date. It is usually organized by week or month. This provides readers the option of quickly finding recent posts to the blog.
