Module 3 - 4. Blogs

When you are ready to construct your own blog, you first need to choose which tool you are going to use.

I have chosen the blogger.com push-button blog.

For those who are a bit more experienced you might want to try desktop clients (such as w.bloggar) which will be published direct from your own computer (rather than being submitted to, for example, the Blogger.com site).

Follow the instructions provided, and set up your blog with at least one entry: make this entry one that is appropriate for a blog
