Coined a new term today - "Blogsticism"
Let me go down as the first one in history to have thought of a formal definition of the term "blogsticism". I googled for the term that I thought I coined. But I found some occurrences of this term already. So, what? No one has given a formal definition for the term. So, let me try my hands at it.
(Btw, I am already so passionate about the term that rechristened my blog to "Blogsticism - The Eastern Connection")
BLOGSTICISM:
The word is a combination of "Blog" and "Mysticism". Just as you would use mysticism to refer to beliefs which go beyond the purely exoteric practices of mainstream religions (courtesy: Wikipedia), blogsticism is a unconventional blogging approach used to make the reader understand a particular concept or technology. There is no one definition of unconventional blogging approach. The definition is loose, and can be extended as needed to be applicable to any unconventional blogging approach.
A mystical experience displays the world through a different lens than ordinary experience (courtesy: Wikipedia). Similarly, a blogstical approach enables you to understand things using a unique, different lens. Now, spread the word!

Whoa! Blogsticism, I get it. I didn't even read your entry. I just waved my hand in front of the screen and the concept became clear to me.
Okay, I actually "did" read your entry, but the blogsticism concept really did become clear to me. You might just have something here.
