For those who still wonder…
The phrase ‘blog’ is an abbreviation of web log and is best defined as a frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and web links. It may combine diary, rant, noticeboard, photo gallery and CD playlists. It may be simple black-on-white page of text or the text may be the excuse for the graphic design. There are no rules to blogging, but most tend to contain lists of other favourite blogs, and often a facility for the reader to comment on what they have just read.
