New Word Needed

NOTE : 10.16.07  Winners of the drawing are Lisa, Mari Mann, and DJ.  I couldn’t draw just one winner. Congratulations!

Frequent blog commenter Pete told me that the world needs a new word for ‘blog post.’ I agree. “Blog” sounds like something my cat throw up after rolling in it. It’s not worthy. To make matters worse, blog is the whole content of a website, and we have to go to two words, “blog post,” to identify a single thing.

(I’m always up for a good explanation.) I’ll have a drawing for a winner. If you leave a post and want to be in the drawing for a set of One Sentence Journaling Prompt Cards, let me know.

Rules:
1. Give the word and definition or story to go with it.
You can also. . .
2. Vote for another word
3. Tell me if you want to be in the drawing.

Here’s an example:
E-scroll. It ties together the old notion of words written on a scroll with the new idea of scrolling to read an entire post.

OK, your turn.
