Blog Terms from Wikipedia

Steve Rubel of Micro Persuasion (April 7, 2006) points to Wikipedia for blog terms.

Samples:

Blawg
A blog focusing on commentary about the law, generally written by a law professor, law student, or lawyer. A portmanteau of "blog" and "law."

Bleg
A blog entry consisting of a request to the readers, such as for information or contributions. A portmanteau of "blog" and "beg". Also called "Lazyweb."

Blog carnival (For example, the Carnival links on this sidebar)
A blog article that contains links to other articles covering a specific topic. Most blog carnivals are hosted by a rotating list of frequent contributors to the carnival, and serve to both generate new posts by contributors and highlight new bloggers posting matter in that subject area.

Blogosphere
All blogs, or the blogging community. Also called blogistan or, more rarely, blogspace.

Blog site
The web location (URL) of a blog, which may be either a dedicated domain, a sub-domain, or embedded within a web site
