Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries, often updated daily and reflecting the personality of the author. 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), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) or content published from a mobile phone (moblog). Micro-blogging is another type of blogging which consists of blogs with very short posts. Style information: This term should not be capitalised.
