Introduction to Blogging—What is a "blog"?

Hi All,

Few people asked me questions like "what is a blog?" "What's the difference between normal website and a blog?" Here in this article I found a great answer for all the questions.
After reading this introduction, if you like to learn more on blogging, please refer to the link below.

"Blog" is an abbreviated version of "weblog," which is a term used to describe web sites that maintain an ongoing chronicle of information. A blog is a frequently updated, personal website featuring diary-type commentary and links to articles on other Web sites. Blogs range from the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow subject or a whole range of subjects.
Many blogs focus on a particular topic, such as web design, home staging, sports, or mobile technology. Some are more eclectic, presenting links to all types of other sites. And others are more like personal journals, presenting the author's daily life and thoughts.
Generally speaking (although there are exceptions), blogs tend to have a few things in common:

• A main content area with articles listed chronologically, newest on top. Often, the articles are organized into categories.
• An archive of older articles.
• A way for people to leave comments about the articles.
• A list of links to other related sites, sometimes called a "blogroll".
• One or more "feeds" like RSS, Atom or RDF files.

Some blogs may have additional features beyond these.

A Star Is Born to the World of Cricket !

According to the commentators of Asia Cup 2008 - Final cricket match "A New Star Is Born to the World of Cricket."
Can you guess who is that? None other than—my favorite—Mystery Spinner—AJANTHA MENDIS.
By the time I'm writing down this happy note, Sri Lankan Cricket team has won the Asia Cup -2008, with an outstanding performance by all the players. It was a fantastic cricket match to watch. Throughout all the performances, there are two things to mention specially.

• "Master Blaster" still fires: It was another stunning inning of champion left-handed batsman Sanath Jayasuriya, who scored 125 runs facing only 114 balls. "Sana" is 39 years of age now. Still Sri Lankan team can't find a solution without him. When he gets going, no one can stop him. CONGRATULATIONS! "Sana." I am so proud of you as a Sri Lankan.
• Second thing is very special for all the Sri Lankan cricket lovers. If I say this in one of the commentators words, "Sri Lanka has found another Murali." It was fantastic to watch. New youngster, Ajantha Mendis performed his career-best, which is 6 for 13 as India were bowled out for 173 to hand Sri Lanka the Asia Cup in Karachi. Sri Lanka won the match by 100 runs.

None of the Indian Batsmen could read the Mystery of Magician Ajantha Mendis. He has his unique techniques of balling, which is now called as "Carom Ball." It is because, he uses his middle finger to create this magic, which is used to strike at the Carom disc.
Ajantha Mendis won "Man of the Match," as well as "Man of the Series" award, showing his consistency of great performance.
He took 17 wickets in this Asia Cup cricket tournament. He performed his carrier best, as well as he is the holder of 9th best balling performance in the One-day cricket history now.

I would like to request from all the Sri Lankan cricket lovers to join with me wishing our new "Star of the Cricket World" all the success, all the courage to keep our mother lands flag up, everywhere in the world, by putting a comment on this post.

Dear Ajantha, CONGRATULATIONS on your outstanding performance. Keep it up!

Cheers,
CJ
