A '''blog''' (a [[Clipping (morphology)|truncation]] of "'''weblog'''")<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rebeccablood.net/essays/weblog_history.html|title=Weblogs: A History And Perspective|last=Blood|first=Rebecca|date=September 7, 2000|access-date=September 2, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150530144950/http://www.rebeccablood.net/essays/weblog_history.html|archive-date=May 30, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> is an informational [[website]] consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries (posts). Posts are typically displayed in [[Reverse chronology|reverse chronological order]] so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the [[web page]]. Blogs can be written on many websites. Eg -[https://racketreview.blogspot.com/ blogger], wordpress,etc. Until 2009, blogs were often the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject or topic. In the 2010s, "multi-author blogs" (MABs) emerged, featuring the writing of multiple [[Author|authors]] and sometimes professionally [[Editing|edited]]. MABs from [[newspaper]]s, other [[News media|media outlet]]s, universities, [[think tank]]s, [[advocacy group]]s, and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog [[Web traffic|traffic]]. The rise of [[Twitter]] and other "[[microblogging]]" systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into the [[news media]]. ''Blog'' can also be used as a verb, meaning ''to maintain or add content to a blog''.
The emergence and growth of blogs in the late 1990s coincided with the advent of web publishing tools that facilitated the posting of content by non-technical users who did not have much experience with [[HTML]] or [[computer programming]]. Previously, knowledge of such technologies as HTML and [[File Transfer Protocol]] had been required to publish content on the Web, and early Web users therefore tended to be [[hacker]]s and computer enthusiasts. As of the 2010s, the majority are interactive [[Web 2.0]] websites, allowing visitors to leave online comments, and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Mutum|first1=Dilip|last2=Wang|first2=Qing|editor=Neal M.

Indeed, bloggers not only produce content to post on their blogs but also often build social relations with their readers and other bloggers.<ref>{{cite journal|author1=Gaudeul, Alexia |author2=Peroni, Chiara |name-list-style=amp |year=2010|url=https://ideas.repec.org/a/ebl/ecbull/eb-10-00198.html |title=Reciprocal attention and norm of reciprocity in blogging networks|journal=[[Economics Bulletin]]|volume=30|issue=3|pages=2230–2248}}</ref> Blog owners or authors often [[Internet forum#Moderators|moderate]] and [[Wordfilter|filter]] online comments to remove [[hate speech]] or other offensive content. There are also high-readership blogs which do not allow comments.

One consequence of blogging is the possibility of online or in-person attacks or threats against the blogger, sometimes without apparent reason. In some cases, bloggers have faced [[cyberbullying]]. [[Kathy Sierra]], author of the blog "Creating Passionate Users",<ref>{{cite web|url=http://headrush.typepad.com/ |title=Headrush.typepad.com |publisher=Headrush.typepad.com |access-date=April 21, 2013}}</ref> was the target of threats and [[misogynistic]] insults to the point that she cancelled her keynote speech at a technology conference in San Diego, fearing for her safety.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-internet31mar31,0,4064392.story?coll=la-home-headlines | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080625081401/http://www.imsafer.com/images/LAtimes_3_31_07.pdf | archive-date=June 25, 2008| title=Abuse, threats quiet bloggers' keyboards|last=Pham | first= Alex |newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=March 31, 2007|access-date=June 5, 2008}}</ref> While a blogger's anonymity is often tenuous, [[Troll (Internet)|Internet trolls]] who would attack a blogger with threats or insults can be emboldened by the anonymity of the online environment, where some users are known only by a pseudonymous "username" (e.g., "Hacker1984").
