So what to do with your blog?

So now that everyone has a blog, what to do with it? Well...
think about...


The blog format encourages thoughtful reflection. It is a good place to choose a theme, issue or topic that you want to say something about. It can be a little or a big issue. It should be forward looking, pointing in directions to go.

The other characteristic of blogs is that they allow comments. If you provoke comments then it is very likely a good blog. So read others' (check the public ones in your Netvibes or similar). If your blog is private, post a brief note on what it is in the Groups discussion set up for this purpose.

By the way, the slide show is yet another integrated feature of the Google empire. The photo management system Picasa offers to turn images into a slideshow. You can then embed them in your blog.
