A blog for example is a personal web site based on a CMS that make it easy for none advanced users to share their thoughts and ideas over the web and get comments on them like this blog.
Folks like Six Apart make it easy by introducing a cheap, customizable & easy to use CMS like Movable type & even easier to use CMS which is TypePad, Blogging get even easier by Blogger were you could build a perfect blog by an easy 3 steps process it's free and easy to use enabling any one to start blogging.
