Apparently there's a lot of discussion and whatnot regarding the definition of the word "blog." As I understand it, a "blog" is a webpage with the users thoughts regarding a certain subject or topic of interest.
Is that about the right definition?
How do you define the word "blog?"
Furthermore, what do you consider an online diary or personal journal? Do these count as "blogs" or are they something else entirely?
I always associate my webpage (personal journal) with "blog" but I don't think it fits the definition I listed above since all it really is is an account of my day-to-day life.

One of the distinctive characteristics of a blog is that the entries on the front page (if there are more than one entry) are in a reverse chronological order - the most recent entry first.
Typically blogs are about the unfiltered voice of a person or group of people. They tend not to be press releases from PR departments.

Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a journal (or newsletter) that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or the Web site. If it is website, it displays in chronological order the postings by one or more individuals and usually has links to comments on specific postings.
Blogs often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. Most blogs are primarily textual although many focus on photograph (photoblog), videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting).

It doesn't have to be a day to day account, even an occasional entry qualifies if it is on line.
You are splitting hairs.
