In case anyone is not familiar with this usage, these days "blog" is often used instead of "blog post." I was thoroughly confused by this when I first ran into it. I tried fighting against this usage by colleagues, but it seems to be widespread enough now that it cannot be fought... I guess language evolves, and I have to get with the times.
I suspect one or more of the following aspects might be at play:
• general loss of identity (since lots of posts are on medium, and less on a personal and work blogs)
• "blog" is short for "blog post"
• desire to distance oneself from "post" which is more associated with facebook and instagram posts
- rumanator 6y agoIt was indeed confusing.I honestly thought that the author was using this article as a clickbait setup to drive traffic to another blog. Blog: web log. A collection of entries that are used to log something and is made available to the internet. Blog post: a specific entry posted in a blog.
