Why blog?
People blog because they want to share with others. They may share their opinions, rants on particular topics, or news from a holiday. They may even have a professional blog where they share views on their industry, or they may have a blog all about their pet. When you're blogging, you can adopt any persona you like. Some people have written from a cat's perspective.Many companies have an 'official' blog, where they release news about the company and views about the industry. Some blogs are highly successful due to the personality of the blog's author. Some blogs have multiple authors. Blogs can be used very effectively for educational purposes: a shared project by students can be created and showcased on a blog; teachers can post notes, lectures, FAQs and various resources on a central blog for their students.
This program is based upon blog entries and during its course, you'll need to write a blog post about each 'thing' you complete. That will let the administrator/s track your progress. You should also think about the audience for your blog: can anyone read your blog - will you show it to your family, your friends, or will you just keep it to yourself? Will you want to continue blogging after you've finished? Have a look at the links at the end of this post for ideas and inspiration.
