1.Posts: Each blog is broken into a series of posts or articles. Think of them as pages in a book. Each post has it own unique web address.

2.Title: Each post has a title.
3. Category: Some blogs include categories so that articles on similiar topics can be grouped together. Think of it like index in a book.
4. Comments: Most blogs have a form at the end the post where readers can write a comment or engage in a dialogue with you, as the author, about the post.
5. Lists of Links: Some blogs includes a list of links to other blogs on the right or left side of the page, sometimes organized in different categories. This is a called a “Blogroll.” Typically these blogs have some connection in terms of the content.
6. Syndication: Many blogs have the ability to easily distribute their content. This makes it easy for readers to read new content without having to visit the blog to check for updates.
7. Trackback: A trackback is a way to notify a website when you publish any entry that references it. When you send it a trackback, a link with a short excerpt of your entry will appear on the referenced website.
