Blog. Writing if for someone else. Blogging is for me. I get paid to do both now, and blogging is definitely less stressful :)

Jeremy makes the point that "to blog" is being used a verb. Although its not quite a noun turned verb, as the noun refers to the surface of action, while the verb refers to using that surface--the difference between "to write" and "paper." That aside, would you rather blog or write?

And so is "Google", "paint", "skate" ...

An object can also be a verb, when you are using that object ;)

To Blog

I blog
You blog
We blog
They blog

Good luck trying elevate the quality of writing found in blogs. These are the same folks that brought us emoticons so they wouldn't have to write emotion, and compounded the inherent laziness of cliches by creating abbriviations for them: IMHO
