The term “blog” was coined by Peter Merholz in 1999. 

He jokingly broke the word “weblog” into the phrase “we blog” in the sidebar of his blog Peterme.com¹. However, the word “weblog” was first used by Jorn Barger on December 17, 1997¹²³. The term “blog” has since become widely used and is now synonymous with online journals or diaries that people keep to share their thoughts and experiences with others¹.
