Blog Overview

• Short for web log
• A blog is a web page which allows visitors to
  read and reply to content on varied topics
  
• Most often successful because of the way it
  attracts birds of a feather from disparate
  geographical locations to one online address

RSS (Really Simple Syndication)

• Popular way to share content between web sites
• Share the latest postings on your blog by showing
  them on a class web site, a personal home page,
  or anywhere else you would like to promote your
  students work.

RSS (Really Simple Syndication)

• Blogs allow you to upload picture files as well
