A note and a question

[fpb]

The reason why I have been publishing little recently except for quotations from other people's articles is that I am very busy. I am slowly and painfully getting my books and comics out of storage, building or rebuilding bookcases to house them, and redesigning my flat. I rarely have time to properly blog.

Now, I have a question. I regularly refer to this LJ as "my blog" and what I do here as blogging. However, few other people seem to. I have just found out that one of the most lively, intelligent, productive, and, dammit, attractive members of my f-list (stand up and take a bow, synaesthete7), runs a blog separately from her LJ, on a different site, and describes only that as her blog. So I would like to ask, do you see a difference between LJs and blogs, or are they one and the same thing to you? And if you do, where does the difference lie?

LJs are blogs. Breaking it down more is for people with more time on their hands and specific needs. If all your friends are there for fic, and don't want to hear about politics, it might be sensible to set up two, so you don't spam the conservatives with liberal HP fanfic, but most folks I know are interested in the whole package. If my family blogged, I'd definitely set up another ID for them to read - and FLock all the posts so I could gossip freely with them.
