I tried to explain to my mother the other day what I meant by "blogging" and "posting on our blog."  My parents have a high speed Internet connection and aren't afraid to use it, however, blogs were a new concept to them.  I explained that as I understood it, the word blog was short for "web-log," a sort of website where journal entries are posted on a regular basis.  Individual articles or entries are called "blog posts."  Clear as mud?

Bill found a better explanation for the origin of blogs on another blogger's site- The Book of Joe.     It seems that Dr. Seuss actually created blogs!!!!! 

    "I went for the kind that were mellow and sweet

    And the world's sweetest eggs are the eggs of the Kweet

    Which is due to those very sweet trout which they eat

    And those trout ... well, they're sweet 'cause they only eat Blogs

    And Blogs, after all, are the world's sweetest frogs

    And the reason they're sweet is, whenever they lunch

    It's always the world's sweetest bees that they munch

    And the reason no bees can be sweeter than these...

    They only eat blossoms off Beezlenut Trees

    And those Beezlenut Blossoms are sweeter than sweet

    And that's why I nabbed several eggs from the Kweet."

    Who knew?
