A blog is short for weblog.  Weblogs are, in essence, public
diaries; but the term is often used for any regularly updated
site.

You can get a random sampling of blogs at http://weblogs.com/ or
http://blogger.com/. Or go straight to the source:  Jill's is at
http://cmc.uib.no/jill/ (be sure to run down her "blogroll" on
the left to visit other "literary" blogs).
