English Online Dictionary. What means blog‎? What does blog mean?

English

Pronunciation

• enPR: blŏg, IPA^(key): /blɒɡ/

Etymology 1

Rebracketing of weblog. The Oxford English Dictionary says the shortened word was coined 23 May 1999 and references the "Jargon Watch" article in an issue of an online magazine which attributes the shortening to Peter Merholz. The form blog is now so much more common than weblog that some misspell the latter as webblog, as if from web + blog.

Noun

blog (plural blogs)

2. (Internet) A website that allows users to reflect, share opinions, and discuss various topics in the form of an online journal, sometimes letting readers comment on their posts. Most blogs are written in a slightly informal tone (personal journals, news, businesses, etc.)
3. (Internet) An individual post to a blog.
