Blog

Blog (also called a weblog, a combination of web and log) refers to an online journal consisting of a set of written entries from an author or group of authors, updated regularly, pertaining to a topic or set of topics.

Brief History

Blogs gained notoriety throughout the late 90's, after the first online diary was published in 1994 by Swarthmore College student Justin Hall. The term "weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger on Dec. 17, 1997. The term refers to the process of "logging the web" while surfing, according to Barger. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary declared "blog" as the word of the year in 2004, illustrating the term's acceptance by popular culture.

Boylove Involvement

Some boylovers have found blogs to be the perfect environment to express ideas, concerns and questions concerning today's society. Many blogs allow feedback by visitors, known as comments, which often sparks debates among users.

A blog sometimes accompanies a podcast, giving boylovers control of both written and oral mediums, allowing additional ways to spread thoughts.
