Creating Blogs
Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a web journal that is used as a publicly accessible personal diary or journal of an individual. Usually, blogs are frequently updated and reflect the personality of the author (a good example of blogs is the so-called live journals). Using the SiteBuilder Wizard, you can insert a blog on your web page.
