| == What is a blog? ==
| |
| Weblog software is software designed to simplify the creation and maintenance of weblogs. As specialized content management systems, weblog applications support the authoring, editing, and publishing of blog posts and comments. Weblogs typically include functions for image management, web syndication, and moderation of posts and comments.
