# What are Blogs?
Blog is a type of website that features regularly updated entries (posts). The entries so far appear in reverse chronological order with the newest appearing at the top of list. Most blogging platforms allow authors to upload images or video files as well as links to other articles in order to illustrate their points and provide sources for their work when appropriate. Blogs can come in all shapes and sizes from the smallest of blogs to the largest of websites. The most popular ones are often found on popular web properties such as Blogspot.

On top of that it also allows you to archive blog entries, which automatically adds that entry into your archival category's list of entries.
