Blogging

A blog entry usually consists of a title, headline, body, post date, comments, tags, and more. One great thing about blogs is that they are almost always customizable. You can select your template which determines how your blog looks, including its layout, which is usually provided by the blogging company you are using. Before blogging, there were other ways for people to communicate online, such as chronicles, diaries, email lists, bulletin board systems, and more. When the internet came about, users wanted a way to communicate with people all over the world. Before the internet, many people had pen pals to mail to every now and then. Today, we can have that with multiple people nearly anywhere. You can create a blog on whatever topic you like, use the template you want, and write in it when you want. In education, blogs can be used to keep the students up to date on homework assignments, test dates, or quizzes. Also in online classes it is a good way to let your students express their opinion on a certain subject and read their peers blog and write their comment on theirs. Blogging is fun, especially if you enjoy writing. It is a great stress reliever, and you can have it any way you want. This is the only blog I have currently. I used to blog a lot in high school but now I don't find the time to do it. Many websites are open to the public free to register such as Blogger or LiveJournal which I used to have personally.
