To contribute to a blog.

In plain English: To blog means to write posts on your own website that anyone can read online.
"He blogged throughout dinner after hearing he couldn't go to the concert."
Usage: Do not use "blog" to mean looking sullen; that is a confusion with the word "glum." As a verb, blog means to write regularly on an online journal or website.
The word "blog" was coined in 1955 by the Liverpool Science Fiction Society to serve as a fictional sponsor for an audio drama played at their convention. It entered common usage decades later when people began shortening the phrase "web log" to describe online journals.
