HHS on Blogs
A blog (a contraction of the term "Web log") is a Web site, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video, usually maintained by an individual, organization, or small group of individuals and typically in a personal or conversational tone. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog, as in “there are many Federal offices blogging today.”
