Therefore, one “posts” each entry in their “blog.”

I like dotjay’s explanation of entries, which may or may not be articles.

I've opted for using "entry" to describe content, i.e. wherever a blog may typically use "post" or "article". The way I see it, an "article" may be a type of "entry" (others may include polls, bookmarks, etc). And I avoid using "post" to describe content as its meaning can be ambiguous.</p> I’ve been considering this lately while working on our own blogging application.

My feedback to him was that I found it confusing that blogs were in fact blog entries. I think with this software though, that's the way it is.</p> I recently came across this when I was reviewing a new site a friend had built using PhPFox software.
