Question: I'm building a site with two main categories.

One side is portfolio work, the other is written work.
Among the written work, there will be personal blogs, tutorials, more in-depth articles, etc. I'm looking for a short, preferably single-word name for all of my written work.

I thought about using 'writings', but it feels a bit like bad choice because it's so close to the verb to *write*. Does anyone have opinions on this option or suggestion for a single word?

Answer: 
You could consider using "[**post**](http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/post)" which means: 

> 
> A piece of writing, image, or other item of content **published online**,
>  typically on a blog or social media website: '*in a recent post, he cautioned investors to be wary of these predictions*'. 
> 
> 
> 

It is better than "[writings](http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/writing)" as they include 

> 
> books, stories, or other written works.
> 
> 
> 

[Oxford Online Dictionary]
I have two suggestions. The first is **essays**. NOAD defines *essay* as 

> 
> **essay** (*n.*)  
> 
>  a short piece of writing on a particular subject
> 
> 
> 

The second would be **musings**. Again, from NOAD:

> 
> **musing** (*n.*)  
> 
> (usu. **musings**)  
> 
>  a period of reflection or thought
> 
> 
>

By itself, *musings* wouldn't necessarily imply written works – not in the same way *essays* would. However, in the context of a website, the word "musings" would imply *written* musings, I think. If most of these articles had a personal touch, such a heading could give your website a more "homey" feel.
