eta thank you most kindly for those links. I hadn't realized how "blog" has smeared, coming to mean any sort of weblog. Just as I had been taken to task by my my techie family for referring to my new Mac as "PC", so had I been raked over the coals for calling a weblog like this one a "blog"

Evidently it used to mean only a specific kind of weblog, now called the "personal blog" where participants chat about their everyday affairs
