Blog Post
Blog Post
The word blog comes from web log ! It is a type of website that relates to a particular topic of interest, and in which the content is frequently updated, or added to with additional articles, comments or 'posts'.
There may be one or more authors/contributors to a blog, and sometimes, comments posted may represent personal opinion rather than actual facts. For this reason, it makes sense to take a little extra care when evaluation the accuracy of the information it contains.
The pieces of information contained in the blog tend to be displayed in the order in which they are posted, with the most recently posted appearing first.
Use the name provided by the author of the blog post (even if this is informal or an alias)
A reference to a blog will generally require the following elements:
Note the use of square brackets [ ] for [format] and [cited]
