What is, fundamentally, a blog?
Many writers write for a moral message; each blog entry has a pith of sorts; many are writing about what they did in their day. Some may journal. Some may provide advice. Some may give alternate ways of looking at an issue. Some may provide science communication.
I suppose, a blog might be a collection of thoughts, which together describe the person.
Each blog giving some anecdote, or description of way of thinking, is a description of the moral philosophy of the author. These can be short, as the sum of it all is in the entire history.
This can be in the actions that a person takes during their day, or describes in weeknotes or /now or the sort, or drawn out of the advice they give, the moral philosophy they espouse.
Fundamentally, reading blogs is a way to get to know someone, without acquaintanceship: knowing the manner of thought of a person, instead of conversationally, socially.
