General Info about Blog project:
Jay Keeton points out that Blogging serves a social function and recommends applying a strategy for making people want to comment.
Consider: Who do students or your audience want to hear from? Who will inspire them to comment?
Pamela Wilkins' material link is below.
Sam Bayne recommends that this Thingamablog be used only while on campus. The reason being that to use from home would require reconfiguring both Thingamablog and Filezilla each time there was movement between remote site and local site. I find this to be a bit discouraging as so many of our faculty work from home, they require software that they can use from home.
Sam sets me straight today about the use of a blog. It is a bulletin board only. Others cannot post to the blog. See comments.
New Tack:
Jean Kent has a new Travel Blog and uses a host other than blogger... Off Exploring Blog.
This host may present new opportunities to consider.
Notes from a Blogger Tutorial: Report that it's possible with Blogger to host your own blog or host it on Blogspot for free. Does not however, give any detail about hosting your own. I wonder if blogger lets us use their html, templates, etc. with our own server?
Tom, I checked with Coryl and it is within Copyright permissions to show these tutorials over a projector while teaching a workshop on Blogs.
