The neologism originated by truncating the appellation "web log", and apparently found fast footing on the tongues of the world. I'm not sure what I dislike about it, outside of the way it sounds, and how sloppy the wording seems. Dropping a syllable to make "Blog" from two words used synthetically to describe the new communication format strikes me as clumsy and disrespectful of english word heritage and etymology.
That's a silly thing to take with umbrage, though. The Language is alive, even if it's growing in ways we wouldn't like it to, a rebellious teenager with funny friends.
She's beautiful and smart, she'll be fine.
