A weblog is, literally, a "log" of the web - a diary-style site, in which the author (a "blogger") links to other web pages he or she finds interesting using entries posted in reverse chronological order.
The Guardian weblog is our variation on the theme: a pick of the best journalism from around the web and the latest news about blogs and their authors.
Every weekday we choose a new "blog pick" - a new, timely, intriguing or controversial weblog that has caught our attention. We also provide links to articles on current issues in the news (be it the leader line of the New York Times or a comment piece in the Zimbabwe Independent) and discuss the latest trends in weblogging. The linklog - a set of links in the left-hand column - is an ever-changing selection of the stories and websites we like.
We also have a useful guide to weblogs kept by our readers.
If you have a link to suggest, or if you have a weblog you want us to list, please email it to weblog@guardian.co.uk.
