.Blog Landrush Started Today
For people who want to ensure that they secure their .Blog domain name, the .Blog landrush period started today, and it runs for one week. .Blog general availability begins on November 21.

I think the video would be helpful to someone interested in registering a .Blog domain name but is unfamiliar with the terminology and how the release process works for new domain names.
I am following along pretty closely because of the reach WordPress has, and I think their promotion of .Blog domain names could help increase awareness about the new extensions.
Here’s the video the registry created and shared:
