BUILDING KNOWLEDGE BLOG


A weblog is usually a personal website where individuals can publish whatever they want to share with others.

Most blogs are text based but often combine with images and links to websites and other blogs and media related to its topic.



Blogs reflect the opinions, thoughts and ideas of the people. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject. Sometimes they are related to academic sites or subjects, in order to develop in depth discussions about specific fields.
