Definition: Blog/WebLog: a web page containing brief, chronologically arranged items of information. A blog can take the form of a diary, journal, what's new page, or links to other web sites. --Peter Scott, Internet Librarian 2001

Below is an introduction lesson about blogging. I created and taught this lesson to my third graders when we began blogging in our classroom.
