Here, today! With two (2!) things you didn't know about blogs.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;So &lt;/span&gt;what's this whole blog thing going to be about anyway? Honestly, I have never blogged, because it is nerve-racking. Sharing one's thoughts and ideas, one's hopes and wishes can be an intimate thing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;"&gt;Lately, however, I've gained a new perspective about blogging. Perhaps, it doesn't &lt;i&gt;always&lt;/i&gt; have to be so "serious" after all, as I'm not a published writer. So shall we have some fun? :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2 Things You Didn't Know About the Blog (formerly titled, extra special things you wished you knew about your favorite time-consumer) &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: orange;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: red;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: black;"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. "Blog" is defined 51 different ways on &lt;a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=blog"&gt;Urban Dictionary&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;What is YOUR definition of a blog?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The word "blog" derived from &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;"weblog"&lt;/span&gt;. Only after a silly, online joke in 1999 was the term shortened to its famous form, "blog". Interestingly enough, spell check counts only "weblog" as an error in spelling.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;Question of the Blog&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;: Do you know of a language that doesn't use the word blog? Lemme know!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;And that's what Summer says. ;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8055835041632112259-8589565781824242037?l=whatsummersays.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://whatsummersays.blogspot.com/feeds/8589565781824242037/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://whatsummersays.blogspot.com/2010/11/blog-here-today-with-two-2-things-you.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8055835041632112259/posts/default/8589565781824242037'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8055835041632112259/posts/default/8589565781824242037'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://whatsummersays.blogspot.com/2010/11/blog-here-today-with-two-2-things-you.html' title='BLOG.
