Ah, Martin, what am I going to do with you?  If you find the term “weblogging” distasteful (and I admit it is not particularly mellifluous), remember that the gerund “blogging” sounds even more onomatopoeic than the noun blog – suggesting that you had a particularly bad stomach flu last night and went to bed hungry.   
You’ve been hanging around under-thirty-somethings for too long, it seems.   If you were working on a traditional website, would you say that you were “websiting” last night?  If you were writing a newspaper column, would you say you were “newspapering” or “papering” last night – much less ”columning”?   How about “textbooking”?   If at home having an evening of leisure instead, would you say you were “televisioning,” “movieing,” “refrigeratoring”? 
The problem, as my questions above suggest, is the annoying modern habit of turning nouns — even odious ones — into verbs.  Why don’t you and I start our own crusade to rid the verbs “blog” and “weblog” from our lexicon.  Surely we could say we were writing, publishing, educating, commenting, or many other fine activities last night, since we were apparently both lucky enough to avoid stomach flu and binge drinking.
