Blog is an abbreviation of web & log, so I reckon there should be a similar term for those blogs, or other websites which are set up just for someone to vent their spleen at life in general or some specific target.
And another thing... we need a word for those blogs where form is given more attention than content.
You know the ones... they take 20 minutes to load, even with broadband, because there are so many animated GIFs and smilies and javascripts which make a trail of butterflies follow the cursor around, and there is usually an mpg or quicktime film playing in a window and background music playing. The only thing missing is any writing, apart from a poem or two, with each stanza in a different colour and font, all of which clash with each other and the background.
Forgive me. I am branting!

Your blog had a Blogopalypse, which caused a blogademic.
Yes, you are right. My blog suffered the ablogalpyse, resulting in the blogademic which saw the demise of Pickle's blog.
And those impacted by the blogademic and are missing Pickles blog are suffering....?

Blogfodder - Substance upon which you can, as a blogger, blogfeed, thereby providing material for your blog.
Blogfeed - it should be evident from the above definition. However, does a blogfeeder have anything in common with a bottom feeder, one wonders>
