Monday Class--Continuing with Weblogs

BAIJ1605 students should by now have set up a basic weblog (even if you haven't yet begun posting). If you still don't have a weblog running don't panic yet but be sure to let me know right away if you are experiencing difficulties.

This week we will explore some aspects of weblogs and ways they are being implemented that are important for new journalists to know about. We will also look at some specific tools you might choose to implement on your own course weblog.

For students interested in finding out about blogging services other than Blogger and LiveJournal, you may want to take a look at this article from Online Journalism Review examining features of various blogging services: "Time to Check: Are You Using the Right Blogging Tool?" (This is an optional reading--not required.)
