Blog

Meaning

A dated collection of articles published on a site.

Base Meaning

Where your articles live.

Blog is a Website item, filed under Pages. Stated plainly: a dated collection of articles published on a site.

It is a label with a settled working definition, so the value is in using it the same way every time. That definition is deliberately narrow — the narrowness is what makes it usable.

In practice, Blog shows up in site builds, page structure and the technical decisions underneath them. In real work it sits close to Content Marketing, Content Management System and Article Template. The practical test is whether everyone in the room means the same thing by it.

Blog is one of those items that only becomes visible when it is missing. When it is unclear, the site still launches — it just quietly underperforms. Deciding it deliberately costs one conversation. Leaving it undecided costs several.

Explain It Like I'm Five
