You don't call a magazine article a "magazine", so there is no reason to call a blog post a "blog".</p><p><br></p><p>A blog can be composed of sub-blogs, when the master blog is a collection/aggregation of individual author blogs. This changes nothing to the fact that the atomic unit composing blogs ("an entry") is a post.</p>StephanieMon, 29 Oct 2007 13:46:59 -0000http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2007/09/15/a-blog-is-not-a-post-dammit/#comment-1776889<p>Semantic shifts happen because things move on. So what do we call the blogs on a blog, when there are several contributors? The Huffington Post is a blog - with blogs. Hmmm. GenevaLunch is a blog - with blogs. We can't label them posts: doesn't make sense. One person writes about wine, another about food, someone else about living a greener life in Geneva. What do we put on the menu when we need a catch-all label for them?</p><p><br></p><p>Blogs were once just blogs, and most still are, but the technology can be stretched further and when it gets stretched, so does the language.</p>Ellen WallaceMon, 29 Oct 2007 12:13:04 -0000http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2007/09/15/a-blog-is-not-a-post-dammit/#comment-1776893<p>Semantic Shift Happens :D</p>alan pThu, 04 Oct 2007 16:37:19 -0000http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2007/09/15/a-blog-is-not-a-post-dammit/#comment-1776887<p>"Blog", "Post": is it really so important?<br>Just enter new content!</p>XThu, 20 Sep 2007 18:29:28 -0000http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2007/09/15/a-blog-is-not-a-post-dammit/#comment-1776885<p>Well excuse me for making a freaking typo.

I don't know how many times I have sat across the table in a meeting with clients and have been asked "how many times do you put up a blog in a week". It always makes me have that deer in the headlights looks for a second. I have to sort the verbs and nouns too much.</p>Jim "Genuine" TurnerSat, 15 Sep 2007 12:28:44 -0000
