About Blogging

Here are some of the things we've been learning about technology.

At the most basic level, a blog has only text about whatever the blogger wants to write. But ideally, blogs should include links to other things on the internet. There is an option called "Blog This" that is a fast way to write a blog about a certain website or webpage. Just add the "Blog This" tab to the tabs on your computer.

A tag is a key word that is used to search for certain items on the internet, when using Boolean operators. If you set up an account on the del.icio.us website, when you find certain websites that you want to be able to reference easily, you can can tag them. You should tag them in such a way as to be able to find them later (or else what's the point of tagging it anyway?).

To publish photos, use a program like Pikasa. You can find it at pikasa.google.com, which is a fantastic photo organizing program.

The reason I am typng this is because I am in the computer lab right now learning about it, but I'm pretty tired. I know that taking notes helps stay awake and focused, and it has worked well for me.
