Alex MacDonell spotted the phrase 'Nom de Blog' in the New York Times of 15 February. "It looks," he suggests, "as though 'blog' is joining 'plume' and 'guerre' as an American-French appellation." It turns out to be fairly common and has already reached several online glossaries of terms. There's also "nom de Web" and the much older "nom de Usenet", which is recorded as far back as 1990.

'March of the Librarians' is a video about the latest convention of the American Libraries Association, done as a take-off on March of the Penguins. "How they know to congregate in the same spot, no one knows. They come to learn, network, collect free stuff and, possibly, to mate."

First of all ... Congratulations on the 41 years! My wife and I are planning on celebrating our 33rd this June.
Secondly ... "The March of the Librarians" is awesome!
Welcome to the blogosphere! I'd been told that you were blogging and to watch "The Lamplighter" for your address. I'm looking forward to reading more on Brambly Hill.
Good post.

Hello! I was interested to know if setting up
a blog website such your own: http://www.blogger.
com/comment.g?blogID=7322680065465699843&postID=3420702013368842171 is difficult to do for inexperienced
people? I've been wanting to create my own blog for a while now but have been turned off mainly because I've always believed it required tons of work.
What do you think? Thanks

Hello exceptional website! Does running a blog similar to this require a lot of work?
I have very little understanding of coding however I was hoping to start my own blog
in the near future. Anyway, should you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please share.
I know this is off topic however I simply had to ask.
Cheers!

Hi would you mind letting me know which webhost
you're working with? I've loaded your blog in 3 different web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most.
Can you suggest a good web hosting provider at a
honest price? Thanks, I appreciate it!
