Now, if I only knew what a Blog was... :orc:

That's right, I may be the only person left who's never really kept up with things like Blogs, etc...

I understand the "log" part, what's the B for?

*perspiring mings want to know* :wacko:

The "b" is the last letter in "web"...

Wikipedia wrote:
...blog (a portmanteau of web log)...

PS. I had to look up "portmanteau" when I read this, but it means what I expected...

I believe this word comes from the French for "wearing a cape" - i.e. Batman, Robin et al.
Does Batman have a blog these days? Or is Blog a superhero among words?
