The features of a blog include:
Date header: The date the post is written. Posts are generally presented in reverse chronological order (most recent first).
Author nickname: The name or nickname of the person who wrote the post. For blogs written by one person, the author is often left off (because the author identification can be found in an About page). For collaborative blogs, the author helps to differentiate contributors. The nickname can also be a link to a page of all the author’s posts.
Title: Each post is given a title. This is usually a short ‘headline’ style title.
Post: A word, sentence, paragraph or essay, with links and names and current news.
Key words and names are often highlighted in boldface, which makes the post 'scannable'
Link: This links to another blog or web-page where more inforamtion can be found. Not necessarily by the same author.
Category: Individual postings are often labelled as part of a category.
Time stamp and/or permalink: The time the post is uploaded to the blog. The time stamp often is a link to a permanent page just for this post. This allows other bloggers to link to a post.
Comments: A software feature that allows readers to leave their own comments and reactions to the author’s post.
TrackBack: A way for one blog post to link to the post of another blog. In other words, one blogger can write about the content of another person's weblog, and the two posts are linked in a web.
