Blogging and Vlogging
A blog is a discussion or informational, oftentimes business, website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries. Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page. A blog is similar to a website where people surfing social media can access any subject's written content. In comparison, a vlog is a video blog, and the final result is a video, like an infomercial, posted on particular topics.
