Simple UI Suggestion - Remove the Word Blog

The word Blog is outdated, antiquated and simply sounds uncool these days

Nearly all the User Interfaces on Hive use the word BLOG. Words in Marketing and UIs matter.

Using the word Blog encourages the idea that posts on the Hive ecosystem should be a blog, which I usually think of as a clever, wordy little take on something relevant.

While some here do blog, often posts are an announcement, maybe even details upcoming or recently completed work. An opportunity to pay for work completed, or a proposal or discussion on future work.

For those of us who have been around for years, it does not have much impact, but one should consider the expectationz set for new users or those who are here to consume content.

I would suggest the easiest move might be to change it to "Post" but I also think "Publish" has some nice word associations.

We often forget that words are powerful and they create nearly subconsciousness expectations.

Blog was a trendy word for the first wave of content creators on the Internet, an update of "Column" which we tend to associate with Newspaper Columnists. Think Dear Abby, or Dave Perry,

It's time to acknowledge there are many different types of Publishing/Posting and BLOG is not a sexy word. It is also inaccurate as there are many things we might want to do outside of that box.

Think about it...
