Etymology Origin:
The term "blog" is a shortened form of "weblog," coined in 1997 by Jorn Barger. It combines "web" (from the internet) and "log" (a record of events). By 1999, "weblog" was playfully split into "we blog," solidifying the modern term. The word reflects the evolution of online journals into the dynamic, user-generated content platforms we know today.
