Blogs typically report and comment on topics of interest to the author, and are usually written and posted using software specifically designed to facilitate blogging; they include hyperlinks to other website and, often, photos, video clips, and the like.
Many blogs provide news or commentary on a particular subject. Some blogs contain personal online diaries.

Your Blog
Your blog can be whatever you want it to be. There are millions of
blogs, on all subjects and by all types of people.
In short, your blog is going to be your web site (or one of your websites--in case you are a multiple website kind of person) where you write stuff on an ongoing basis.
On blogs the new comments will typically show up at the top and the original post toward the bottom (reverse order), so your visitors can read the new stuff first. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you, or just read it and don't do anything.
With your blog you have the ability to write anything you want, send email to your friends or co-workers, or people you want to impress or don't even care about impressing---that your blog exists and then they visit it daily, weekly monthly, etc.
