For the sake of history, I'd like to add a mention of the first known warblog that I have found, which I made public on the Internet at the same time as the 6 June 1996 website launch of www.birzeit.edu [1]. It had been written and coded since November 1995, but was not available online internationally until 6 June 1996. The Internet Archive Wayback Machine didn't pick up the blog for another four months, on the same day it picked up the main university website, 22 October 1996.
At that time it was located in a privately maintained subdirectory off Birzeit University's main website at birzeit.edu/diary/. LOL, can you imagine a university allowing that these days?
Here's a link to the blog homepage "A Personal Diary of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict", from the Internet archive: https://web.archive.org/web/19961022110437/http://www.birzeit.edu/diary/
Here's a link to the *dated* diary entries from the Internet archive at the time of the first Internet Archive capture: https://web.archive.org/web/19961022075829/http://www.birzeit.edu/diary/index2.html
Here's a link to the *dated* diary entries as of 1999 (pretty much the end of the warblog) from the Internet archive: https://web.archive.org/web/19991128043733/http://www.birzeit.edu/diary/index2.html

Anyway....

Blogs also known as weblog is a personal online journal that contains short entries written and updated by an individual called blogger FFaithh ( talk) 16:15, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
This article mainly deals with the actual activity, namely in the History section where people were doing it long before it was called a blog or blogging, but the word weblog already existed for something else. For all I know, the term weblog originated as another name for the What's new aka Recent changes section of websites, in order to "log" aka document those recent changes on the website. It was only later, by around the mid to late-90s, that the meaning of the term shifted to what we now call a blog or blogging. -- 2003:DA:CF0A:F291:F931:76DF:D0F:78B ( talk) 12:48, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
