Tutorial Three - Blog Creation Tasks

One of the classes that we do as a second year Occupational Therapy Student is 'Participation in Occupation 1' For this class we started up our own blogs (which you are currently reading) using blogger.com which is one of many blog hosts.

So what is a blog really? Well, it is basically a website that you can write stuff on, on a continuous basis. This allows readers to get new information about the blog's subject. Readers can comment on items that you have posted. Thus, it can be a way of connecting people to similar interests. You can also post photos onto your blog. If your photos are already on the web, such as on Flickr, then Blogger allows you to make a link between the two.

Blogger allows you to publish your thoughts, engage your family and friends and have complete control over it! You can choose to delete any comments that people may have left, you can control who can access and write on your blog and it let's you find people and blogs that share your interests. You can choose your own template, customize colours, fonts and layout of the page.

And if you thought that was exciting, there is one more service that blogger offers for the techno savvy people out there. GO MOBILE! Yes, you can send photos and text straight to your blog via you mobile.

If one may feel the need to spice it up a little you can try another blog host such as 'Blogsome.'

Enjoy Blogging people!
