Introduction To Blogging


BLOGGING!!!



Hi my name is Maryanne and I'm a new blogger. This blog site is here to capture the world by surprise about Blogging in the classroom. Is it good? Or is it bad? I'm not sure yet but a bit of researching from the web will give me a bit of knowledge about what blogs are, what they do, and why people use them.


Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject such as food, politics, or local news; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.

Blogging has become very popular in this 21st Century. This is because people find it much easier to publish content online. some people find HTML web pages hard to create as most people are short on time to acquire new skills. Now there is a new way to publish online, and that is BLOGGING! It is so easy and the good thing is you dont have to know anything about HTML. there are many blog sites to choose from and sign up to.

The great thing about blogging is that you can link to other sites and blog entries. You can also receive almost-instant feedback as people visit your blog and comment on your posts and explore mutual ideas.
