Blidiot

I am hereby trademarking a new word. BLIDIOT it is a clever combination of the words Blog (web log) and Idiot (stupid person). A Blidiot is not a total idiot, they just can't figure out blogging. I'll give you a perfect example:

My cousin. Who is probably the only one that will read this post (if she has figured out how). In general she is an intelligent woman (regardless of her advanced age). She can't seem to figure out blogging.
A. she doesn't understand the point (because we can)
B. she doesn't see the difference in a blog and a website (a blog is a website, on a website, has a url, they are the same damn thing, just a different format)
C. she can't comprehend google reader (does it matter how it works as long as it works?)
D. she doesn't think google reader is pretty (no one does, its just a beta)
E. she wonders how all those people get inside her computer every day to write all their thoughts on her screen.
F. Similarly wonders how they get out (do they need tools, do they just crawl down under the space bar? If you start typing while they're in there can you kill them?)
Maybe it is because she is way old. Young people get it. Thats how we roll. We can do anything anytime anywhere, cause we rock! So teach your cousins how to read other peoples blogs. Otherwise you'll end up like me, typing a satirical post to a person who won't even figure out how to read it for a week and a half! Then you would be a blidiot too!
