blogger

Internet journal keeper

A blogger is someone who writes and maintains a blog—a website featuring regular posts, typically in reverse chronological order.

Bloggers range from hobbyists sharing personal reflections to professionals covering news, fashion, technology, or politics: She started as a food blogger and now has a cookbook deal.

The term emerged in the late 1990s with the rise of personal web publishing.
