Blog, Blog, Blog - Yes, it sounds like the adults talking on Peanuts cartoons, but it's more. A blog is short for weblog. A blog is basically a quick easy way to create a webpage. It is easier than using special software to create a web page and then trying to load it through your internet provider. Blogs are a great forum for writing journal entries which are then put in order by the date of the entry. Another advantage of blogs is that you can control who sees your blogs, and who may leave comments. You may also send invitations to people to view your blog and leave comments. There is even a simple tag/label available that will allow others to find your blog when doing a blog search.

There are free sites for creating your blog (see the list below). Once you register you will be walked through some easy steps to creating your blog. There are different templates with different color schemes etc.
Postings:
Once your blog is established you then write and post entries. This is easy. Click “Create a New Post” and then type. There are **tools available including “Spell Check” and "Link". Once you highlight a word or some text, the link tool will create a link after you type in the URL. Generally the post is auto-saved. Once you are finished you simply click the “Post” button. Of course you may also go back and edit your posts.
