Soon you will be free to blog at a .blog

When I was your age, I had to blog at Xanga. And by the time LiveJournal came along, we thought things couldn’t get better. “This is as good as it gets,” we said, redundantly, as we updated our LiveJournal emoji, which symbolized our emotional status in that moment. We didn’t even call them emoji at the time.
Anyway, like I said, blog dot blog. WordPress.com will be selling .blog domains later this year, and you can register now. You don’t even have to use a WordPress blog. I could run xangablog.blog.
Or blog.blog.
Or log.blog.
Or clog.blog.
Or glob.blog.
Theworldisouroyster.blog.
