I don't really understand your first question, but the log is there toensure that all changes to the database can be rolled back/forward if
 necessary, such as when the server crashes. See "Transaction Logs" in
 Books Online. As for shrinking it, see here:

 If you don't need transaction log backups (see "Selecting a Recovery
 Model" in BOL), then the simplest option may be to set your database to
 the simple recovery model - the log will then be truncated
 automatically.
