French and French Canadian words for bloggers, and readers of blogs and French Blogs

Problem
What is the French word for blog, blogger and other technical terms?

Story
I signed up for Google Adsence, which I must admit has not yet made me any money. However, it has proved to be a useful exercise in opening doors to the internet and expanding my ambitions in running a blog in another language.

The system asked me if I wanted my post to be translated into another language, and run ads relevant to readers of that language. I picked French, and Spanish, and German.

I then started receiving emails in French, Spanish and German, about how to sign up. This was a time-consuming challenge.

ENGLISH - FRENCH
blog - un blogue (French Canadian) un blog (French)
blogger - blogueur

FRENCH - ENGLISH
un Blog (French) - blog (English)
(un) blogue (French Canadian) - blog
blogueur - blogger
