Actually, my cot-caught-distinguishin' self pronounces blog with an
open-o, probably out of analogy with log, which has an open-o for me.

(Hence my weakly-joked wonderment at why it was spelled blawg, not blog
in my earlier post. I realized right after i sent it that that was a
pretty opaque comment.)
