blogs

1. 1
   noun

   Plural of blog.

   Many fashion blogs covered the runway show within hours.

   The professor cited several science blogs alongside peer-reviewed papers.

   Note

   A regular -s plural that covers both countable meanings of blog. It can mean several websites (she follows three blogs) or several posts on one site (he wrote two blogs this week). The science-fiction convention punch is uncountable, so it has no plural. The same spelling also serves as the present-tense verb (she blogs daily), and only the surrounding sentence tells you which one you are reading.

2. 2
   verb

   Third-person singular simple present of blog.

   The retired teacher blogs daily about her travels through South America.

   Whenever a verdict comes down, the legal analyst blogs about its wider implications.

   Note

   The present-tense form for he, she, it and singular nouns. The verb works with or without an object: she blogs daily, or she blogs the trial. Outside the internet sense, British slang uses the same form to mean steals or blags. An obsolete West Country verb with this spelling meant to look sullen. Context also separates it from the plural noun.
