weblogger

Internet journal keeper

A weblogger is a person who writes and maintains a weblog—an online journal or commentary site.

The term emerged in the late 1990s alongside the early blogging movement.

Webloggers helped shape political discourse during the 2004 election.

The shortened form blogger has largely supplanted it.
