Answer 8

First, let's give the 360-specific answer, since we're in that section.

You can blog directly from your Yahoo 360 profile by clicking the appropriate link. The primary advantage of THIS blog is that you can link directly to it from your Yahoo Answers profile, so if you are a frequent contributor HERE, people can check out your blog without you having to post a bunch of "questions" asking people to check out your blog. Check out my profile for an example of this.

However, for MAXIMUM flexibility and freedom with your blog, being able to do things like (1) pick whatever theme you want (look and feel), which widgets you want (additional functionality), and what scripts you want to add (YouTube videos for example), for all of that, you'll need to go through a two step process.

1) Get yourself a free web hosting account (one without ads is the best way to go).

2) Install software that lets you blog. The best ones are all 100% free -- Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, etc.

Here's a site that has a good selection of free WordPress themes, to give you a taste of what a blog can look like when you have complete control...

As to the definition, well, officially it's short for WeB LOG. It started as an online journal or diary, but the good ones read more like a regular column in a newspaper or magazine, and the range of subjects are similar, anything from reviews to news reporting to random observations about the meaning of life and the nature of the universe.
