The word Blog is short for ‘Web Log’. A log or diary of stuff that you host on the Web.

the world’s first blog was probably ‘Open Diary’ created by Dave Winer, though the term itself was coined by Jorn Barger on 17 December 1997.

At first, blogging was just like regular diary writing, but done on the Web for everyone to see. But then it evolved into what modern blogs are – a statement that stands for many different points of view of the blogger.

A blog is an easy way of publishing your thoughts to the Web.

You don’t have to know how to code, program or handle technical details. Just type into a box and click a button to publish your content to your blog. It’s even called push-button publishing!

The history of blogs makes for a mirror in which we see the very evolution of the World Wide Web and globally accessible content.
