Blog post vs. blog: This blog post is not a “blog.”￾ – Oh hell yes. This is something that annoys me a lot too. And as an old school blogger, I think I have the right to pull rank here!
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

sometimes I just substitute “I just posted meaningless word vomit” when someone says “I wrote a blog”.
Yessssssssss. This drives me totally *bitchcakes*.
Totally agreed, but then I still remember when people used to actually refer to them as “web logs”, so a single entry as a blog seems really semantically wrong. If they need a 4 letter word for brevity on Twitter, why not just shorten it to “post”?
