Well, we're back...but this time for the last semester. Our first assignment...create a blog. Well, I can hardly understand the idea of creating a blog if I don't know much about it. After all, my only interaction with a blog of any sort was when my husband put a load of laundry in the dryer with a pack of gum in his pocket. Needless to say, it looked like a Smurf blew up in our dryer. So, I immediately went to the computer and stumbled across a blog with hundreds of entries on how Febreeze and a dryer sheet takes gum off the dryer walls. Anyway, I've decided to do some research about blogs. Here is what I found:
1. Blogs defined by Encarta Encyclopedia...
The frequent, chronological publication on the Web of personal thoughts and opinions for other Internet users to read. The name, coined in the late 1990s, derives from “Web logging.”
2. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs.
3. Entries are most often shown in reverse-chronological order.
4. Personal blogs can serve as online diaries or journals.

Love your portrait and page!
ReplyDeleteI love that you found a blog that helped you figure out how to get gum out of your dryer. I will file that in my head for when it happens to me. Or I could just search for the blog you found! I do see how blogs could be useful for quick solutions to a problem especially when the solution comes from people who have experienced the problem.
COOL page Brook! I am impressed you actually used a blog prior to us HAVING to do so!
ReplyDeleteI really do not get it (blogging) yet...hundreds of entries for the gum in the dryer!?? I know you were very grateful for that, but I can not imagine myself sitting down to write such tidbits. I am keeping an open mind though... what am I missing???
Gum in the dryer - what a disaster! - I've experienced an exploded ink pen, but gum must be worse. I agree with Keara, love your portrait, its fantastic! Beth an open mind is good, I'm right there with you! I'm sure by May we will have an understanding of what we are missing!
