A periodically updated journal, typically formatted in reverse chronological order. Many blogs not only archive and categorize information, but also provide a feed and allow simple user interaction like leaving comments on the posts. Most blogs tend to be personal in nature.

The most popular blogging platforms are Wordpress, Blogger, Movable Type, and Typepad.
