While I find the name charming, I'm left wondering what the L stands for.

Really?
I like blongs though. Mr Fry can add inventor to his CV for having invented the web log essay. The wessay, as they say. We say blessay to save necessary blasé finesse (that is to say, to save face). Keep up the pace, I say! Somebody save me. Is anybody else feeling dizzy? Did somebody sneeze? Sorry, what a cliché. |

I thought it just stood for BLog
 I cannot be awake for nothing looks to me as it did before, Or else I am awake for the first time, and all before has been a mean sleep. |

I also thought 'blessay' is a portmanteau of blog and essay.
