weblog

Personal internet diary

A weblog is a website maintained by an individual or group, featuring regular entries displayed in reverse chronological order—newest first.

The format emerged in the late 1990s as a kind of public diary or commentary site.

The clipped form blog quickly overtook weblog in common usage: She started a weblog about her travels, but everyone just called it her blog.
