Proper usage rules about weblog and blogging terms:
A weblog is the online, regularly updated presence of a person or group. Do not use 'blog'.
A blogger is a person who authors the weblog. Do not use 'webblogger'.
Blogging is what a blogger does when actively authoring for their weblog. Do not use 'webblogging'.
The totality of weblogs and weblogs as a community is known as the Blogosphere.
Ignore this information at your own peril.
'Blogger' is a Google trademark. 'Geekdorkpropellerboy' is a trademark of Cruftbox Technologies.

After I sent out more than 150 End of the Year letters talking about my "blog".
*@#$%^&*!!!
Do I understand this?
Am I suppose to say my "weblog" instead of my "blog"?
Or should I just say "website"? I'm very confused.
Oops, Mr. P is right!
Must fix ASAP!
