I have often wondered what is a true blog.我常常想知道什麼是真正的博客。 Lets find out.可以找出答案。

I have read definitions like it should contain a calendar and / or it should be updated regularly and / or entries should be dated.我已閱讀的定義一樣，它應該包含一個日曆和/或它應定期予以更新和/或作品，應當註明日期。 Let’s look at them in details.讓我們看看他們的細節。

This blog doesn’t have a calendar.此博客沒有一個日曆。 Does it prevent it from being a blog?它防止它被一博客？ Nowadays most blogs do not have a calendar.現在大多數的Blog沒有一個日曆。 Calendar was relevant in the early days of blogging where blogs were few and people loved to stay on one blog and browse through previous entries using a calendar.日曆有關，在成立之初的博客那裡的博客很少和人民的愛留在一博客和瀏覽以前的作品，使用的日曆。 Today it mostly takes up space.今天，大多是佔用了空間。 It surely cannot be a defining feature for a blog.當然不可能是一個確定的功能為博客。

What about a website which contains dated articles on a specific topic?什麼網站，載有過時的文章，就某個特定話題？ Does that alone make it a blog?這是否僅使它成為博客？ If so then如果是的話，然後 NY Times紐約時報 or SF Chronicle website should also be considered to be a blog.或SF紀事報的網站也應被視為一個博客。

When we talk about frequency of update, how do we define the threshold frequency which defines / undefines a blog?當我們談論的頻率更新，我們如何界定的門檻頻率定義/ undefines是博客？ Frequency of update appears to be a narrow definition for a blog.更新的頻率似乎是一種狹隘的定義為博客。 Lot of blogs like Guy Kawasaki’s infrequently updated blog would fail to make the list if frequency of update is the criteria.很多博客一樣傢伙川崎市的博客不常更新，將無法使名單，如果更新的頻率是標準。

However we all know when we see a blog.不過我們都知道，當我們看到一個博客。 So what is a blog ?因此， 什麼是博客 ？

We cannot take away the date element from a blog because of its origin - web + log.我們不能帶走Date元素從博客，因為它的起源-網絡+日誌。 It started as and even today it is a log or journal.它開始和即使在今天，這是一個日誌或雜誌。 The topic can however be diverse and not just limited to one’s life.這個專題的，但可以多種多樣，而不是僅僅限於一的生命。

A blog is an interactive medium.一個博客是一個互動的媒介。 You can comment on a blog and even start a discussion.您可以發表評論的博客，甚至開始討論。 Some media companies nowadays have enabled discussion on their articles, thereby bringing them closer to a blog.一些媒體公司如今已啟用的討論文章，從而使它們更接近於一個博客。

A blog may have one or more author like一個博客可以有一個或多個作者一樣， Boing Boing boing boing . 。 That doesn’t preclude it from being a blog.這並不妨礙它從一個博客。

Where does sydication fit in a blog definition?哪裡sydication適合在一個博客的定義？ Online newspapers used to syndicate for ages.在線報紙用來集團為千古罪人。 Today almost all blogs provide RSS / Atom feed for syndicating their contents.今天幾乎所有的博客提供RSS / Atom供稿源，為聚合其內容。 Is it required definition for a blog.是它需要定義為博客。 Personally I don’t think so.我個人不這樣認為。 Syndication or pings are just ways to make your blog more widely available and read.聯合或坪只是如何使您的博客更廣泛使用和閱讀。

In conclusion, with some reservations, I think the best definition for a blog is:總括而言，一些保留，我認為最好的定義，博客是：
A blog is a website with dated articles which allows viewer to comment on articles. 博客是一個網站與過時的文章，讓觀眾發表評論文章。
