Ectoplasmosis:
PPS: Note to print journalists like Rafael Behr deigning to comment on the Internet -- nothing makes you look more clueless and out-of-touch than when you refer to a post as a "blog." Ectomo is a (we)blog. The article you are reading now is a post. This is not difficult to comprehend.
Amen.

Do you think it would help if bloggers changed their use of the verb to agree with the noun?
I.e. Replace
Q: "What are you doing?"
A: "Oh, I'm blogging"
With
Q: "What are you doing"
A: "Oh, I'm posting"
Just a thought.

Amen.
Another good one to get into the stylebook is the redundancy "online blog".
As opposed to all those offline blogs, I suppose?
