A blog (a contraction of the term "web log") is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (Art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (Video blogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.

As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112,000,000 blogs.

How do i start a successful blog from scratch?
Q. How would I go about creating a new blog that could become successful in less than a year. I have a lot of ideas of different things I could include, so I don't know that content would be an issue. What are good ways to promote a new blog and is it better to jump around with different topics or stick to one? What else can I do to make it successful??

How to let your blog readers download a PDF file direct from your blog post?
Q. I've seen this kind of feature on a recipe blog once where the author lets his readers download a handy recipe (plus method) sheet in pdf format. He usually link it at the end of his blog posts. Readers can click on it and automatically download the pdf file and keep for future references. How to actually do this? I'm just not familiar with it. Thanks.
