A blog –Â short for “web log” –Â is an online personal journal that covers topics ranging from daily life to technology to culture to the arts. Blogs have made such an impact this year that Merriam-Webster named it the word of the year.
“There’s a blog for every niche. There’s a blog for every interest,” said technology writer Xeni Jardin, who co-edits the blog boingboing.net.
Dylan Verdi, an 11-year-old known as the world’s youngest videoblogger, says she covers “things that I’ve seen that I like or that I’ve heard of, or just anything that happened to me that day that I’m thinking.”
There are millions of blogs on the Internet  a new one is created every seven-and-a-half seconds. More than 10,000 new additions are added to the “blogosphere” each day.
