Blog is a short form of “web log”. Log means a diary or journal, usually a notebook where you write regular reports of what you did or thought. Every ship has a “captain’s log” in which the captain records details of the ship’s voyage day by day. “Web log” means a log that you keep on the (world wide) web.

Post is an individual entry in a blog.

Rant means to speak or shout at length in a wild, impassioned way. It can also be a noun. In blogs, a rant is a written personal complaint.

Rave means to speak or write about someone or something with great enthusiasm or admiration. It can also be a noun.

Tag: same as a keyword, helps people to search and find relevant posts

Theme: a “style” or “template” for your blog. You can choose a different theme for your blog under “Presentation” in your control panel.

    One more. To flame someone.

    flame [intransitive]
    to send someone an angry or rude message in an email or on a bulletin board (or blog)

    This definition is from the Longman dictionary (I added the “or blog”)

    Always try to keep your posts friendly sounding and positive because flaming is not cool. :)
