Phlog is a type of daybook, similar to a blog, but run off a Gopher protocol server. These phlogs are typically hosted off home servers running some sort of UNIX operating system, because a user account on the server is usually required to update the content. The gopher protocol provides no way for the user to update the content using the protocol itself as with HTTP POST. There are quite a few phlogs floating around gopherspace but the vast majority are not updated regularly. Due to the limitations of the gopher protocol no commenting is possible unless one implements it using a separate Telnet, HTTP or Email-based interface.
