Many blogs provide commentary on a particular subject or topic, ranging from [[philosophy]], [[religion]], and [[art]]s to [[science]], [[politics]], and [[sport]]s. Others function as more personal [[online diary|online diaries]] or [[online advertising|online brand advertising]] of a particular individual or company. A typical blog combines text, [[digital image]]s, and [[Hyperlink|link]]s to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (''[[art blog]]s''), photographs (''[[photoblog]]s''), videos (''[[video blog]]s'' or "''vlogs''"), music (''[[MP3 blog]]s''), and audio (''[[podcast]]s''). In education, blogs can be used as instructional resources; these are referred to as ''[[edublog]]s''. [[Microblogging]] is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.

'Blog' and 'blogging' are now loosely used for content creation and sharing on [[social media]], especially when the content is long-form and one creates and shares content on regular basis. So, one could be maintaining a blog on [[Facebook]] or blogging on [[Instagram]]. Blogging is writing about what you like. In other words, writing about what you know and providing valuable information to people searching for it.

A 2022 estimate suggested that there were over 600 million public blogs out of more than 1.9 billion websites.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hardwick |first=Si Quan Ong, Rebecca Liew, Joshua |date=2022-02-03 |title=71 Blogging Statistics for 2022 |url=https://ahrefs.com/blog/blogging-statistics/ |access-date=2022-12-30 |website=SEO Blog by Ahrefs |language=en}}</ref>
