OTOH, the dictionary people (and the pundits) may be still off the mark a bit with their understanding of what a 'blog' is. It may have once meant "web log" but I'd argue that the
Freerepublic has become the standard. Namely, a
blog is an online opinion posted for discussion, and not a web 'journal'.
Bottom line-- congratulations Jim ;-).

Au contraire. I think this article is the first to "get" the distinction between blog and website. It's nice to finally see something reported correctly.

A blog is a blog, not a bulletin board. Their definition is correct: a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer.
No matter the idiocy of the press, powerline is a blog. FR is a bulletin board. That is NOT the same thing as a blog.
