I know I’ve been retired since 1991 but I still try to keep abreast of journalistic matters through Press Gazette.
However I’m completely baffled by the word ‘blog’. Am I alone? Or should I get out more? Please enlighten me.

Editor’s reply: Actually
Patrick, to learn about ‘blogging’ you really need to stay in more.
Blog is a contraction of the phrase web log, which is basically an
online diary. Bloggers regularly update their websites with news,
information and links to other websites, all arranged chronologically.
