where did the word blog come from?
The term blog actually came from the word weblog. “Weblog” was first coined by a man named Jorn Barger back in 1997. The word “blog’ was then created by Peter Merholz who then separated the words “we” and “blog” on the sidebar of his own blog back in 1999. Blogging is a website usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video or made similar to a diary or journal, but they are commonly displayed in a reverse-chronological order. Brad Fitzpatrick was one of the early bloggers in the internet. However, these early bloggers never called themselves bloggers but journalists and diarists. Some even called themselves and even coined the term escribitionists. There are thousands of bloggers online posting each day. It is a trend that started in 1997 and has continued to grow steadily.
