All about Blogs presented by David Fulton, Computer Literacy Librarian at Liverpool Public Library
This was another good workshop and the topic of discussion was Blogs. A blog is a weblog in which entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. There are currently more than 74 million blogs and of these about 55% are active(updated regularly) A blog can be created free by going to Blogger.com or Wordpress.com just to mention a few and the process is very simple and easy to use to create your own blog. Dave Fulton explained to us the process of using Blogger.com and how to search for blogs. What blog reader does (also known as a RSS reader or aggregator) RSS means Really Simple Syndication. Dave also showed us websites to use to publicize our blogs and provide links to more blogging resources through Daveman.info This was a very good workshop and very well presented.
