What is a blog?
Blog = "Web log" is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual,with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order.
"Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Why a blog? What does it offer?
It's an easy an fast way to provide or read commentary or news on a particular subject online; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic.
What are the different access levels or roles in managing?
There is an administrator that has the power to allow what is going to stay published and who is going to stay as a user of the blog site.
How can blogs be used? What's in it for me?
Blogs can be used as :
Personal Blogs, Corporate Blogs, Question Blogging, By Media Type, By Device, By Genre.

I'm not so sure that I want to set a blog but if I do, I will use it to communicate with friends and it will be a two-way communication.
If I create a site of my own the blog will be on my site, and I will be the blog administrator.
Right now I can't devote to much time to this task that's why I don't know if I will decide to have a blog.

brave new blogging

noreply@blogger.com (Beaglebabe) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 21:23:00 +0000

It always interesting to be confronted with what seems to be your native language, and allegedly a language you understand, only to find yourself wandering through a forest of new terms, new words and new concepts. The mind races to comprehend, struggles to keep up while despair and confusion clutch and grab, trying to bring you down. The question was posed: why blog? The best response seems to be because it's there.

Today is Thursday, August 2008

I want to blog to help out my department. I am the assistant to the Chair and I have to interact with all faculty and staff. Currently we are having communication issues amongst the faculty and staff and blogging and wikis may be very helpful to our department. There is no single medium that everyone in the department uses which is partly why there is a communication problem. I am hoping creating a department blog and wiki will help keep everyone on the same page and well informed of all the issues and tasks that are being worked on. I will probably be the holder and creator of the department blog. The Chair, Committee Chairs, MSO and myself will be managing and administrating the blog; whereas staff and faculty will be able to provide comments. There are a lot of ongoing projects that I have noticed everyone has an opinion on, and blogging will be perfect to provide that option as well as document it.

I want a blog to deliver departmental news to the EH&S department. Is it a better way to go than using Adobe GoLive to maintain an old-fashioned Web site?

I think it would be 1-way communication at first. Perhaps I could invite 2-way communication later. How serious is the spam problem?
