I am continuing to do some trial posts as I learn the basics of WordPress. Having to switch to WordPress because Adobe (in their great wisdom) has decided to kill Muse, their AWESOME web creation app. Which ticks me off a lot. At age 66 (tomorrow) I am really not overly thrilled to be learning new software when I am perfectly happy with the software I have…except that it will disappear in two years. Who knows, maybe I will too. Ignore my first few posts. It’s just practice as I complete a Lynda.com course on WordPress.

So to kick this off with a couple of trial posts, here is the reason I hate the word BLOG. First, it’s almost a cliche. I mean everyone has a blog, right?
Second, I just hate the word. Who decided to use a word that starts with a BL? A BL? That’s the same as the word BLAH! If you Google the origination of the word itself, it says it is the shortening of the word “weblog.” I don’t even like weblog! Does anyone still call it the web? And we all know what the adolescent in us thinks when they hear the word log. The word (according to Google) dates to the early 90s. That was a really bad time in my life so no wonder I hate the word.
Third, why hasn’t anyone come up with a better word in the almost 20+ years since the early 90s?
