Noticed an odd trend recently of people referring to "blog posts" as "blogs"... why is this?
Does blog posts & blogs has a difference ?
Well, 'blog' comes from 'web log', and a log has 'entries'. An 'entry' in a 'blog' is usually referred to as a 'post'.
'Blogs' - is just the plural of 'Blog', which in turn is a container for blog posts
Well thanks for the explanation
