I'm finally getting my journal underway.. thought I'd do a bit more reading first:

"blogger" is a recent coinage used to describe someone who maintains a web log, that is, a frequently-updated, publicly available online diary or collection of musings. A few people have been doing this for several years, and some print journalists began shifting their oeuvre to personal websites more recently (e.g., Mickey Kaus of kausfiles.com, Joshua Micah Marshall of talkingpointsmemo.com, Andrew Sullivan of andrewsullivan.com). The advent of software that made it very easy to keep a running online diary gave wings to the practice, however, and the yearning for community and information in the wake of the September 11 attacks lit a fire under it. Some time ago somebody joked that the practice of "maintaining a web log" could be referred to in short-hand as "we blog," and thus the term "blog" was born. It can be used as a noun or verb, or in its extended form, "blogger."
