As I steadily delve into the world of blogging, I find it equally important to become familiar with its terminology. Although I have a link to a Blogger’s Glossary, I am easily entertained with the musings some are having with this simple word, BLOG.

There’s blogging, blogify, blogger, blogspot, blogroll, and today I read about this ladies five year blogiversary! 

So I decided to peruse the link and discovered these cool ones you should try sometime.

Blogoriphic:  something the blogger finds wonderful (blog + terrific) synonyms blogorephic and blogtastic;

Blogger bash:  a party for bloggers, either online or offline;

Blogography:  the profile or “About” section of a blog, often containing a short biography;

Blogerati:  the collective blogging intelligentsia, commonly understood as being the most influential and highly trafficked bloggers online by page rank and the effect of link traffic (”Most Active”); and yes even

Bloggies:  annual blogging awards, featuring online voting and an offline ceremony with nominations in several different categories!

Blogosphere:  the collective content of the blogs worldwide, taken as whole. The term may also refer to the subculture of the community as well, referring to the social network that the interrelationships that bloggers have with one another beyond the technical network itself. Synonyms include blogspace, blogistan, and blogoverse.

Blogroll:  a list of blogs, usually placed in the sidebar of a blog, that reads as a list of recommendations by the blogger of other blogs. Often indicative of the political affiliations of a blogger, these lists may also include many other kinds of recommended media, including newspapers, journals, books or even companies.

Feel free to add some -but remember I am only doing the “blog . . .” words this time!
