| − | + | '''[https://blog.xkcd.com The Blag]''' is the official [[xkcd]] blog. Its name is an intentional typo of the word "blog", inspired by the comic [[148: Mispronouncing]]. It was launched in October 2006, 6 weeks after the publication of that comic. Since 2012, most new posts are about Randall's books or book tours. There were no posts to the blog between [https://blog.xkcd.com/2015/11/24/a-puzzle-for-the-uk/ November 24, 2015] and [https://blog.xkcd.com/2019/02/05/how-to-absurd-scientific-advice-for-common-real-world-problems/ February 5, 2019], most likely due to the three-year gap between the promotional cycles of ''[[Thing Explainer]]'' and ''[[How To]]''. The most recent post unrelated to Randall's books was [https://blog.xkcd.com/2014/05/30/isee-3/ ISEE-3], published on May 30, 2014. | |
On [[Links#2023-01-21|2023-01-21]] the link to the Blag was removed from the front page of xkcd. At that time the last post "What If 2" was almost a year old having been posted 2022-01-31. Seems like that is the end of the Blag. Although the above link is still active. | On [[Links#2023-01-21|2023-01-21]] the link to the Blag was removed from the front page of xkcd.
