Entries
so on and so forth
Well, I was hoping that taking a week off from writing journal entries would help, but it hasn’t really. I still feel at a loss as to how to reconcile the fact that this journal is one of 7 zillion now and I hate that. One of the reasons I started Coffee Shakes is because at the time it was a very unique idea and something that only one or two people were doing. Now I keep getting lumped into these groups of “online diary keepers” which bugs the hell out of me and tempts me to stop writing entries altogether. I don’t feel like Coffee Shakes is original, unique, or even interesting anymore. Blah blah blah, blather blather blather.
When did the online diaries change to blogs?
Wow - I didn’t think I’d find an answer to this but thanks to wikipedia, I did:
“The term “weblog” was coined by Jorn Barger on 17 December 1997. The short form, “blog,” was coined by Peter Merholz. He broke the word weblog into the phrase “we blog” in the sidebar of his weblog in April or May of 1999. [2] “Blog” was accepted as a noun (weblog shortened) and as a verb (”to blog,” meaning “to edit one’s weblog or to post to one’s weblog”).” - source here
