Now the blogs are not just textual content, but also focussed on art (Art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (video blogging or vlog), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting).

Shame on me but I didn’t know who was the first blogger and how it all started. Thanks for this info. For me it was really interesting and worth mentioning to my friends.
