From www.dictionary.com, 1 February 2005

"A blog is a web page that contains brief, discrete hunks of information called posts.   These posts are arranged in reverse-chronological order (the most recent posts come first). Each post is uniquely identified by an anchor tag, and it is marked with a permanent link that can be referred to by others who wish to link to it."
