Blogging 101
What is a blog? A blog is a web page Frequently updated posts that are
arranged chronologically The content and purposes of blogs
varies greatly Blog posts are like instant
messages to the web. An Example
– http://trainingforchange.blogspot.com/– http://tfctryouts.blogspot.com/
Many blogs are personal, "what's on my mind" type musings.
Others are collaborative efforts based on a specific topic or area of mutual interest.
Some blogs are for play. Some are for work. Some are both.

More on Blogging
Excellent team/ department/ company/ family communication tools.
They help small groups communicate in a way that is simpler and easier to follow than email or discussion forums.
Use a private blog on an intranet to allow team members to post related links, files, quotes, or commentary.
Set up a family blog where relatives can share personal news.
A blog can help keep everyone in the loop, promote cohesiveness and group culture, and provide an informal "voice" of a project or department to outsiders.
