Week Thirty - Keeping up with the Blogs

Gordon has asked us to keep our blogs up to date and to do five blog reviews - I have only done two reviews with a third needing to be double checked.  Three of the blogs I have done my reviews on are college related, but for the other two blogs I need to do - I know hardly any other blogs.  And many blogs may not be the blogs I'll like to read. 

 

So far with this blog, I think that I have done well.  This blog is kept up to date every week I'm in or around college and using it to let Gordon know how I have been doing with the classes I do with him and with the other classes and if I need help. 

 

I think that the people who follow by blog will most likely be students like me.  Gordon has asked us answer some questions for him by next week and post on our blogs. 

1. Give me your definition of what a blog is, and why you would want to create on?

A blog is a form of on-line logs, or something like a diary on the internet, for all to see.  This college blog I'm doing is part of the course I'm doing, NC Digital Media Level 5, as per asked by our lecturer, Gordon.  I had never done a blog before I came onto the course so I decided to give it a try after I learnt that it was part of the course. 

2. Give a brief description of what RSS does and what it stands for?

RSS stands for Rich Site Summary and it entails publishing the most updated information such as blogs, news headlines, both of which can have audio and video clippings.  Whenever a blog is published, it gives the time and date of the publication of the blog. 

3. Give three examples of free blogging software?

• weebly website - www.weebly.com 
• simplesite website - www.simplesite.com
• b2evolution.net/

4. Give me 5 criteria of a high quality blog

• The blog gives good information, not too much if the author of the blog doesn't want to publish too much
• The blog can have images in the blogs
• The blog can have a good title to go with the blog
• The blog can be allowed to be read by any, or unless the author wants just a targeted audience for the blog
• The blog must be proof read before being published in case of any spelling mistakes in the blog and could make the reader to dislike the blog

I hope that these answers are what Gordon is looking for, and that he'll be happy about them. 

Here's to the rest of the week and the rest of the course. 

Wish us all luck
