Some tech terms

A blog is the shortened form of weblog. "Weblog" is made up of the two words "web" and "log".

An entry in the Virtual NoticeBoard is usually made up of the following components:

• Title - main title of the post,
• Body - main content of the post,
• Comments - comments added by readers
• Permalink - the URL of the full, individual article
• Post Date - date and time the post was published

(Click on the above underlined words for more information.)
