A blog is a website that maintains a frequently updated register of information. Blogs, a shortened word from weblog, often focus on particular topics or genres and contain diary-like entries, called posts. Blogs can also provide links to articles on other websites or blogs. Today, blogs are frequently used to communicate information to large masses in a quick and easy way. 

Blogs are intended for use by University units. Members of these colleges, departments, and organizations are able to share recent or updated information with everyone in their department at the click of a button. Individual classes and students wishing to access a group discussion system should refer to Blackboard.
