Pass and spend is also another pair of very basic words that can be used inaccurately. According to the LDOCE Online,
pass X spend
1. Pass is, among several other meanings, a transitive verb related to time. If, for example, you pass time or pass your life in a particular way, you spend it in that way.
We passed the summer really uncomfortably.
We played games to pass the time.
2. Spend time doing something is a collocation more usually used than “pass time” doing something.
I spent the whole day watching TV.
Let’s spend the night together, dancing and laughing!

Hey, Lilian,
What an honor to have your comment on my blog. It’s really beginning, so there’s loads of things in the making. Keep coming for more in the next weeks. As for your query, Technorati is actually a blog portal that tries to clip what’s hot in the blogosphere, suggesting blogs, posts, and all things related (photos, videos, etc). I guess that if you want to give your own educational blog that professional look that we seek, WordPress is the tool. If you want to go even further, try hosting your blog with a third-party service, and get your own domain name.
Just get back to me for more details just in case, right?

Thank you very much for the comment, Eduardo. It’s a new blog, so there’s not much yet, but I hope to update it as often as I can, which means something like once a week, or every other week… I do hope you can learn something and enjoy it!
