Blog Speak

I have a quick question for y'all. I cannot figure out for the life of me what the two following terms mean and it is driving me batty. I am sure once told I will feel like an idiot - they must mean something very obvious. So bloggers, what the heck does "NaBloPoMo" or "Meme" mean/stand for? Help a girl out, will ya? Thanks in advance!

NaBloPoMo-National Blog Posting Month.

meme-In the context of web logs / 'blogs / blogging and other kinds of personal web sites it's some kind of list of questions that you saw somewhere else and you decided to answer the questions. Then someone else sees them and does them and so on and so on. I generally consider these to be actual questions and not some multiple choice quizzes that determine some result at the end (what color you are most like, what cartoon character are you, what 80s movie are you).

A meme is actually an internet fad of sorts. Remember Rick Rolling? Or like the numa Numa Dance? Those were memes... random weird internet things that people get obsessed with. I'm sure it could be the other thing for blogs as well.
