blogger

UK/ˈblɒ.ɡə/US/ˈblɔ.ɡəɹ/
nounB1Very rare — outside the 30,000 commonest English words, so you will meet it in writing rather than in speech — blog sits at #9,731leans written

Other forms: bloggers

A blogger is somebody who writes regularly on a personal website. Their own place, their own subjects, no editor.

The word came from weblog, shortened to blog around 2000, and the whole form was central to the early social internet before platforms absorbed most of it. Blogging is the activity and a blog is the site. Many bloggers now describe themselves as writers or creators, and the word has aged, though the independent personal site is quietly coming back as people leave the big platforms.
