“Dear New Yorker, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Washington Post and others, Please stop using the term ‘web log’ to refer to a chronologically-ordered frequently-updated website. The correct term is ‘weblog’. Furthermore, ‘blog’ is not short for ‘web log’, it is short for ‘weblog’.”

“Structured Blogging is a way to get more information on the web in a way that’s more usable.

Just as there are different styles of investing, there are different approaches to traffic generation. Aside from the occasional, reclusive J.D.Salingers, most writers want to be read as widely as possible. Some bloggers literally will do anything to gain audience, others have defined boundaries.”

“The official weblog of the Lincoln Sign Company… Lincoln Sign Company is a small, custom sign shop specializing in carved, sandblasted & dimensional signs, but we will happily do just about any job (big or small) that is sign related.
