A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger." Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog.
Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in chronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominantly
The internet and blogging is not just a print page animated by electrons, it is a social system that thrives on linking patterns and an ecosystem of information. It is not 'all the news that's fit to print', it is a discussion where memory and context are constantly brought to bear in a very immediate way through hyperlinks and search engines.
As such, the ethics of needing to represent complete and total authority, as in 'all the news that's fit to print', do not necessarily apply online. Space online is limitless, so the marginal cost of printing that extra word, or of a correction or extension of a point, is zero. Additionally, and importantly, the internet allows for a cheap and diverse printing press for anyone with a browser.
