Answer 1

A blog is an online journal of your thoughts. People write them for various reasons, but Yahoo! 360 is designed as a social networking tool with friends/family or to meet new people. A blog is one of the features of that service. I write blog entries  to keep my friends/family updated on my activities and thoughts. I express myself better in writing. People read blogs out of curiosity about other people's lives and opinions.

Blog is short for "web log." Basically, a blog is an online journal. You can write or post about whatever you like: updates of your life, political opinions, a great trip, favorite recipes, what music you're listening to -- anything that strikes your fancy.

Your blog can include words, photos, or both. Yahoo! 360° publishes and saves all your blog entries for easy access as time goes by. You decide how private or public to make your blog by setting your permission preferences.

Blogs are usually composed of one or more blog entries. Each entry can have its own title and always says the date and time you published it. Blogs show the last entry first, and you can scroll down to read earlier entries. So it's like a reverse diary.

You can easily add a photo to your blog entry if you want. You can also make bold text, change colors and backgrounds, format your text, or add emoticons and even web links. If you know HTML, you can make even more changes, if you want. But your blog will look great even if you don't use any of these extras.

Answer 3

A blog is similar to a diary, but everyone can see it.

Answer 4

Are you asking what a blog is? A blog is like a public journal people keep, which is stored on the internet (instead of on someone's computer).

There's nothing wrong with you not being computer savvy. You're not from the younger generation - like your grandkids - that grew up with computers as a household thing, and thus learned to use them as part of their daily routines! Nothing to feel bad about. It's good you're asking questions and have a desire to learn something new!
