BLOGOSSARY

One of the interesting side-effects of blogging has been the exposure to new (and newly invented) vocabulary. Like the word blog itself, which is short for web log. Or the blogosphere, the cyberworld, which bloggers like me inhabit.

Other words I have recently learned include vlog, a video blog; blong, a short song written in a sort of blog format; and bleg, to beg or ask for assistance via a blog.

You can find an expanded list on the website www.blogossary.com. Where else?
