A blog is basically an online journal wherein you can digitally pen down your thoughts, ideas, opinions and practically anything that you want people to read. Blogs can be both personal or for business. Blogs come in different styles, formats, and settings, depending on the preference of the user.

Basically a blog contains these features:

permanent link- every article that you write has a URL
comments- this allow readers to post comments on your blog.
keywords- note your important blog keywords
title tags- don’t forget your title tags H1, H2, H3
