I've had a weblog since 1999. I know where the word comes from. Try rereading in light of that; if you need more hint consider why the author's spellchecker might put a red wiggly underline under the letters "color".

No, it's always been blog in en-GB.

Try reading in light of basic facts, if you need more hint consider if a spell checker might put a wiggly underline under the letters "loug".
