1. HOW BLOGS WORK

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Blog vs. Website: Blogs organize content with chronological “posts” that are marked with a date and time. Most websites — even those with database backends — organize content by audience or topic rather than date.
Blog vs. Wiki: Blogs keep original text intact and allow subscribers to add comments. Wikis allow the original text to be edited and enhanced.
Common blog features:
- entries are posted in reverse chronological order, categorized and archived
- blogs are managed by browser-based software (e.g., WordPress, Movable Type, Blogger or LiveJournal) using databases to store content (e.g., php/MySQL)
- bloggers link to each other to form communities
- security is managed by the blog administrator allowing various levels of access
