I have no idea what a blog is.

I am incredibly confused right now. I do not know what a blog is..... The word has been used as a noun, verb, and adjective several times around me... I really want to major in English, and I've always gotten fantastic grades in English even at the collegiate level and it still escapes me how one word could possibly be all three: an adjective, verb, and noun. It's also been combined with several other words (micro, sphere) and used with all kinds of prefixes and suffixes (-y, -er, -ing). I've used dictionaries, wikipedia articles, and done google searches but they do not help at all. I just do not understand!

From what I've gathered it has something to do with people and web sites and text. I think right now if I hit that big "Publish Post" button people will be able to read what I've written here and that it has something to do with blog(s). I don't understand why I am "making" one or whatever. I'm just really really confused.

Now I'm in this class and the directions tell me to "make" a blog and the step-by-step instructions led me to typing this on this unattractive website. So I guess that's what I'm doing.
