My feeling is that there are more shades of grey to the whole blog v. journal. For instance, there are still sites which have lists of links and there main content is not commentary but news feeds. Is that a blog? You could say it is a news wire, but often the stories are chosen at a purely personal level (IT, politics, strange-but-true). Also there are sites which are personal records of day to day life some of the time but which comment on the wider world and its issues at other times. I feel like that would describe my site. I would say that it is a journal for other reasons - it doesn't yet have comment facilities like this, for example - yet it has a blog address. Perhaps blog should describe it all and the sub-definition is made in the mind of the visitor. That is a very interesting pair of definitions.

You previously linked to an interesting concept that personal sites are becoming their own social network and I think one effect will be that more and more journalers will adopt the blog and blurb format.
