Some members here may find it so confusing. Then, what's the difference between a blog and a post? You just published a blog or a post, you may ask yourself. And, what's a blog post?
If you look up 'blog' in a dictionary, you'll find it refers to 'diary', 'journal' or 'log'. Does it mean you need to write here every day or daily? You definitely don't really want to do that. Then, how about the word 'post', which exactly means 'a piece of writing'? You just keep posting/publishing posts here in MyEC's Blogs section. Does that make sense for you?
Yes, it may be safer to use 'a blog post' instead of 'a blog' or 'a post'. Neverthless, members here may want to refer to the piece of writing they just wrote or are writing or will write as 'a blog' instead of 'a post' or 'a blog post'.
So, it's quite acceptable to say 'I just published a blog', 'Your blog was just featured', 'Excellent blog', or 'Try to write a blog about it'. Yes, you got it - 'a blog' can mean 'a post' or 'a blog post'.

That's very kind of you!
Dear Expector and Tara,,
Thank you for this lesson. It means a lot to us.
@Marielow
Yes, it should be 'instead'. Thanks!
Yes it can be. I rather say blog & sometimes blogpost.
instead not insead
@Daniel
Yes, it's true, but they seem to be interchangeable here. Thanks.
@Elena
Thanks for the nice comment.
Oh thanks Expector, finally we found a solution to this doubt!
It's more properly, technically saying, "blog post" or just "post", although, "blog" standing for "post" is seen more and more in blogger's world.
@noasl
Really? How could it be? Maybe those who aren't MyEC members still have no idea what a blog is, while we seem to have taken it for granted:))
If you're using Chrome browser, the word 'blog' is still being underlined with the 'red colour' as if it's a mistake. :D :D :D :D
