A blog and a blog post are not the same thing

At some point in the last few months, the word blog has come to mean not only the weblog itself, but also its constituent entries. I can’t be the only one out there who hates it when someone says something like, She wrote a blog where she said…, or, I wrote a blog on that. It makes my skin crawl. I’ll concede that weblog has succumb to just blog in the popular vernacular (though I still maintain use of the former whenever possible), but I just can’t let this blog post == blog thing go.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to temper my self-righteous, curmudgeony sensibilities with some real-world news and remind myself that none of this really matters anyway.
