Neologism 1: Blogiversary

As I searched for a link in my Mentoring in Early Childhood Education class, I came across a website announcement for a "Blogiversary." I thought that this was an interesting word. I'm not sure how new it is, but I had never heard it before. The meaning is probably already evident, but a blogiversary is the anniversary of someone's blog creation. This word subtly demonstrates the idea of technological attachment. The word symbolizes the commitment, energy, time, and emotion that are often poured into people's blogs. People often see their blogs as a reflection of themselves. Sometimes it gets creepy.
