Reflective blog




What is a blog?





Its a type of a website, which is similar to a forum or a social bookmarking site. It
 is defined by the technical aspects and the features around it. (Denial scocco, 2011) http://www.dailyblogtips.com/what-is-a-blog/



According to susan Gunelius (2012), The blogs were started in late 1990s as online diaries. The individuals were able to post information about their lives and opinions on a daily basis where the posts were listed in a reverse data order, so that the readers viewed the most recent post first.
