blog (plural blogs)

1. (

   Internet

   )

   A website that allows users to reflect, share opinions, and discuss various topics in the form of an online journal, sometimes letting readers comment on their posts. Most blogs are written in a slightly informal tone (personal journals, news, businesses, etc.)

   • 2002, Blogging: Genius Strategies for Instant Web Content, Indianapolis: New Riders Pub., →ISBN, page 4:Biz Stone , chapter 1, in, Indianapolis: New Riders Pub.,

     So you see, the blog has been around since the beginning of the web; that is how basic the concept is. Today’s blogs, and the activity of blogging, have taken on more meaning, but the concept of it all is still very simple and rooted in the beginning and intentions of the web itself.

2. (

   Internet

   )

   An individual post to a blog.

   This blog was originally posted on my personal site but is reproduced on the forums for greater visibility.

     The earliest form we know about composed before Rhysling was blinded, at some drinking bout, and the verses concerned what he would do at the SoLaCon I—if he could find enough blog, a mimeo, and a few willing femmefans.

     June 7, David E Romm, “Re: To Ghost or Not To Ghost…”, in, message-ID <[email protected]>:

     The closest we came to that was not serving alcohol in the consuite one year. That was a significant success for it’s main purpose. We actually came up with a definition of a fan, albeit a partial one phrased in the negative: Anyone who comes to Minicon just because there’s free beer in the consuite is not a fan. That year there was more alcohol and more kinds* of alcohol than at any Minicon before or since; all the real fans who liked to drink brought their own and shared. The policy mainly discouraged the jerks who liked to hang out at the consuite and hit on the women. We did that for one year and happily went back to serving beer and blog.
