Dear Bloggers, Let us have a compilation of blog related terms and their meanings. May be we can coin new terms related to blogs too. Let me start with the basics

Blog - Web log ( initially some one used the term Web log as We - blog)

Blog - as a verb, the act of posting an article on a Blog site.

Blogosphere - The term referred to the whole collection of blogs on the net

Blogger - The person who is publishing the blogs

All the terms which I suggested started with "blog", but it need not be like that. So the expert bloggers may kindly pitch in with the additions.

Definitions, if not correct can be discussed upon and arrive at a consensus as far as possible.

Hey Hitesh, I didn't know that fact. Is there some stats for that? Is there some explanation for that?

Just like there are Vlogs (video blogs), there can be Plogs (picture blogs).
