TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

The word ‘blog’ can in fact be used as a noun or a verb. When used as a noun, it names something that receives, organizes, and publishes posts. The verb is the action of posting to the noun.

Individual bits of ‘blog’ are in fact called ‘entries’ or ‘posts’, not ‘blogs’. This is an important distinction, and it is all the more imperative that this is made clear before blogging is made mandatory.

Preliminary research indicates that ‘blog’ makes a poor adjective or other modifier.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.
