Blog

I'm not sure what prompted this, but last night I got to thinking about how I always refer to this as my website, and never a blog. I could refer to it as such if I wanted to. I write posts about whatever I feel like, tag them, let people comment on them; if this wasn't my site it would sound like a blog to me.

I think it's because of all the time I put into actually creating the site, and writing the code. That definitely shadows the amount of time I've spent writing real content, and that doesn't sound very bloggy to me. Does it matter at all? Of course not, just in my head.

If I search Will and Beyond, I only get 10 results (this would be the 11th). I read through those, and they consist of two things, 1) me referring to other blogs, and 2) the Will and Beyond LiveBlogging system.

It's crazy to think how popular the term has become though. The term is derived from web log. Here are some Google search stats:

blog - 3,520,000,000 results found
weblog - 173,000,000 results found
"web log" - 18,000,000 results found

That's all I really had to say.

Godspeed.
