Features
Taken from wikipedia.com: 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 for 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 ([|artlog]), photographs ([|photoblog]), sketches ([|sketchblog]), videos ([|vlog]), music ([|MP3 blog]), audio ([|podcasting]), which are part of a wider network of [|social media]. [|Micro-blogging] is another type of blogging, one which consists of blogs with very short posts. As of December 2007, blog search engine [|Technorati] was tracking more than 112 million blogs.[|[1]] With the advent of [|video blogging], the word //blog// has taken on an even looser meaning — that of any bit of media wherein the subject expresses his opinion or simply talks about something.
