http://www.getnetsavvy.info/blogging-basics Tips for making the internet more useful Thu, 28 Apr 2011 12:36:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://www.getnetsavvy.info/blogging-basics/comment-page-1#comment-265 Mike Fri, 04 Dec 2009 02:02:44 +0000 http://www.getnetsavvy.info/?p=53#comment-265 <p>Good stuff. One advantage of a blog is that you can both go back and amend or correct postings as new information comes to light, either in the body of the blog or in comments. And bear in mind that it's public, so you may get helpful comments from passers-by as well. It's more like a conversation than a wiki would be. It can be good to frame the blog with a little semi-public text and clear stranger-friendly postings to take advantage of that. Have a play with the themes as well, and try embedding screenshots.</p> Good stuff.

I've now set up my first blog. At the moment it's only between a friend and myself to discuss tech news. I'm not sure a blog is the best method of doing this, but emailing back and forth was much more clunky. It was incredibly easy to set up the blog and go through the settings - I used Blogger.com as I already have a Gmail account. Have also set up Delicious account after you mentioned this last week and already find that invaluable.</p> Thanks for the inspiration in last night’s class Mike. I’ve now set up my first blog.
