Would Microsoft count that as a blog? These discussions always amuse me. I like to call the junk I write on the internet "my website." Seems easier to me. Plus, just saying the word Blog out loud makes me feel ridiculous.It seems Scoble's site is having the same update problems that you are by the way.

Is Technorati indexing that "blog"? (Reminds me, I need to delete it...)
