A blog (short for web log) is a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order.

Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of most early blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media.

Early weblogs were simply manually updated components of common websites. The modern blog evolved from the online diary, where people would keep a running account of their personal lives. Most such writers called themselves diarists, journalists, or journalers. Blogs are replacing personal diaries, emails or particularly in this case magazine articles.



Promotional flyer:

StyleSlut use their blog to promote their organised nights, through useful factors such as bullatin posting, in which images and hyperlinks can be inserted, and also draws the audience to their attention as many people would check out the latest bullatins everyday.

Blogger information:

This is obviously not taken as seriously as the rest of the blog, which promotes the fun-living personality of the blog.

Many bloggers differentiate themselves from the mainstream media, while others are members of that media working through a different channel. Some institutions see blogging as a means of "getting around the filter" and pushing messages directly to the public. Some critics worry that bloggers respect neither copyright nor the role of the mass media in presenting society with credible news. Many mainstream journalists, meanwhile, write their own blogs, and StyleSlut are a perfect example of this.

Sample page:

This gives an example of the kind of pages the blog send out every few days. They inclide interviews with the new up and coming artists and bands, check out the latest trends on the catwalk and underground scene. They offer a lifestyle of fun and fashion which can be seen by the fresh layout of their Blogger page!
