Wesley Blogging?

Hey! I have just discovered Wesley blogged - or the equivalent of anyway! I have just read 'John Wesley(1703-91) kept one set of personal diaries intended as private documents and another journal, recording his extensive travels as he preached and travelled throughout the British Isles. This journal was a record of his life for public consumption as well as in order to encourage his followers and at times to justify his actions to the world.....' I am quoting from 'Theological Reflection: Methods by Elaine Graham, Heather Walton and Francis Ward published by SCM press. Isn't that what blogging is all about? It may be faster and usually briefer and the responses or comments might be slower but not much else is different is it?
