Early Weblog

The first website http://info.cern.ch was the site built by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN. From this page Tim Berners-Lee pointed to all the new sites as they came online.
And we may say that it was a first weblog.
NCSA's What's New page took the cursor for a while, then Netscape's What's New page was the big blog in the sky in 1993-96. Then the Web exploded, and the weblog idea grew along with it.

Blog in Oxford English Dictionary

The shorter version - blog, was coined by Peter Merholz who in April or May of 1999 broke the word weblog into the phrase "we blog" in the sidebar of his weblog. Usage spread during 1999 and the word was popularized by Pyra's creation of their weblog service Blogger. As of March 2003, the Oxford English Dictionary included the terms weblog, weblogging and weblogger in their dictionary.
One of the pioneers of the tools that make blogging more than merely websites that scroll is Dave Winer. One of his most important contributions was the creation of servers which weblogs would ping to show that they had updated. Blog reading utilities, such as Blogrolling use the aggregated update data to show a user when their favorite blogs have new posts.
