The Difference Between Blog and Blog Post
All bloggers have blogging pet peeves. My biggie is when people incorrectly refer to a blog post or blog article as a blog.
A blog post is an ARTICLE you publish on your blog.
A blog is the PUBLICATION on which you publish a post.
You would never say, “I wrote a newspaper,” or “I wrote a magazine.”
The same rule applies to blogging. When you say, “I wrote a blog,” that implies you published an entire blog, with multiple articles.
When referring to a single article on your blog, the correct usage is, “I wrote a blog post.”
Thank you for joining my one-woman crusade on behalf of politically correct blogging lingo!
❤ this POST on my Instagram account if you want to join my peaceful demonstration.
Completely agreed. I really admire the simplicity and easiness in the blog post. Keen to know when will I get to read more posts like this.
