A Definition of Blog
To be very clear about the broad concept of what a blog is, first of all, I am going to explain to you where this word comes from because perhaps you did not know.
In 1997 Jorn Barger used the term weblog or weblog ( plural weblogs ) for the first time to describe the fact of “logging the web” ( logging the Web). And in 1999, Peter Merholz spreads the word in “weblog. From then on, it ends up being abbreviated in Blog, as we know it now.
In other words, the word Blog comes from the abbreviation of a weblog. That is why the basic meaning of the Blog is that of a blog or digital diary where content is “recorded” chronologically.
