Post.

Makes me nuts when people say they published their blog - no, you published a post within your blog.

You have a blog on Active Rain.  You publish a blog post.  Or, an article.

It's a blog post...or an article.

Many mistakenly call it a blog, but a blog is compilation of all of your blog posts.

There's been a bit of confusion of terms since blogging became so main stream. A blog is like a newspaper, with blog post or articles within. But even the link under our names on the top nav bar on AR says "write a blog"

I call it a blog post - articles are what I write that are long and much more informational - the blog IMO is the container for the blog posts

Blog post.  Blog refers to the entire collection of posts.

Think of it this way:

Blog = Book that is a collection of stories

Blog Post = One story in that book

IF talking to AR folks it a blog.

If in marketing material it is an article.

If in FB, it is a blog post.

Well, that is the intent, perhaps not 100% consistent.

Lyn Sims has the answer here. I'll only ad that an article tends to be more in print or a digital version of a publication vs. our posts on our blogs.
