Best Answer

Blog is short for "web-log" which is an online journal or newsletter that is updated frequently and is posted on a website for people to read.

It can literally be defined as a place on the internet where you can keep "logs" or updates of your daily happenings.

The term 'Blog' is the evolved term coined by Peter Merholz in 1999.

It's not an acronym,...it's a colloquialism. It comes from the conjoined terms web and log...as in weblog. Then it evolved into simply blog when Peter Merholz coined the term in 1999.
