"Once upon a time, in 2004, we started a new paper
publication called "Free Software Magazine". We printed three
issues, before realising that printing costs would have killed the
magazine -- quickly. We still created "issues" (as a collection of
articles) -- we just stopped killing trees in the process. In the
meantime, "blogs" became part of the magazine: blog entries went
through a much more streamlined process, had lighter editing, and
were published as soon as the author had completed them. (As a nice
piece of trivia, blogs were added to the magazine by adding
b2evolution on top of the static site. It was the biggest kludge
ever created, but it worked!)
"I never liked the term "blog", especially in the context of
Free Software Magazine. While it's true that blog entries weren't
planned as carefully as articles, they did get edited. To mark the
distinction, we changed the wording to "posts" -- not quite
articles, but not quite blog entries either."
