We should not confuse form with intent. Is tv
fiction, journalism or marketing? It can be, 
of course, any of these and much more. The same 
happens with weblogs. You can create a weblog 
that is personal journal, or a fictional diary, 
or a photographic exhibition, or many other 
ideas you may have.
