In order to assist newcomers to the world of blogging, I have created the following lexicon:-
blog - originally a "weblog". A personal space within the worldwide web where an individual publishes self-chosen words, pictures and/or videos to share with the world.
blogger - a sad person who has nothing else to do with their time but to sit at a computer churning out their stuff.
"Blogger" - with a capital "B". The arm of Google that kindly facilitates blogging though other less popular providers are also available. "Blogger" is noteworthy because it is un-contactable in relation to technical errors or the reporting of unacceptable activity such as drug and gun sales, bullying, sexual abuse posts, threatening behaviour and guidance about how to make homemade bombs.
blogpost - a term that describes a single published offering. Sometimes bloggers may mistakenly use the term "blog" instead. What I am writing just now is a blogpost and not a blog.
"Blog off!" - what a blogger might say to another blogger when they experience disagreement
blogstipation - when a blogger just cannot think of anything to blog about
blogworld - the known world of blogging in which a blogger operates
blogosphere - the entire panoply of blogs in which bloggers post and interconnect
Yule blog - blogpost written at Christmas time
blogorrhea - when you just can't stop blogging and stuff simply pours out of you
blogmate - a friend that you have made through the process of blogging
blogversary - the anniversary of the birth of your blog.
bloggery - the sense that other bloggers might be ganging up on you.
"Good blog!" - what a blogger might say in error to his/her pet dog
B.A. (Bloggers Anonymous) - Discreet organisation set up to enable bloggers to talk about their addiction to blogging. Meetings are held monthly in agreed public spaces.
bloog - what a dyslexic person calls a blog.

If any long-serving bloggers or blogmates have other blogging terms they wish to suggest for addition to this list, please place in the "Comments" section.
