 For a more in-depth exlanation see this [http://www.dallasgenealogy.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=239&Itemid=161 Blog Overview]&nbsp;page.
+A blog is just a specialized web page (in fact, the name 'Blog' is short for 'We'''B'''&nbsp;'''log''''). A Blog is usually focused on a particular topic and consists of a series of posts that are (usually) short in nature and organized by&nbsp;topics.&nbsp;The newest post is displayed first, and older posts are archived (but still searchable and viewable). What makes&nbsp;a Blog different than a normal web page is that the reader can post comments on <span id="fck_dom_range_temp_1298729007687_681" />posts they read.
