A WNYLRC Workshop April 18, 2005 |

| Have you heard the term “blogging” but
aren’t sure what it means? Do you want to find out how to create and publish your own web log (or “blog” for short)? Would you like to get some tips on what to put in a blog? Put simply, a blog is a collection of commentary, links, and news, much like an online journal, and can be created for any purpose. Many are updated daily, and the blogger usually adds comments to his or her daily posting. |
| This introductory workshop for librarians will explore the world of blogging: tracing the history and origins of blogging, identifying the main components of a blog, what content to include, how to find and create RSS feeds for aggregated news content, where to set up and publish on the web, and the pros and cons of creating a blog for your library. |
