Official French translation for "weblog"

By at 11:57 pm Sunday, May 22

Loic sez, "The very official French 'Journal Officiel' has just decided what we, French should say when we say 'weblog'. We should say 'bloc notes' which would translate back in english to 'note pad'. The short version should be 'bloc' instead of 'blog'." Link (Thanks, Loic!)
