Suggested andswers: 1. A blog (web jurnal) is a website containing a diary or journal on a particular subject. A blog is a frequently updated online personal journal or diary. It is a place to express yourself to the world. A place to share your thoughts and your passions. Really, it’s anything you want it to be. For our purposes we’ll say that a blog is your own website that you are going to update on an ongoing basis. Blog is a short form for the word weblog and the two words are used interchangeably. For ex.: When Barbieux started his blog, his aspirations were small; he simply hoped to communicate with a few people.
