Blogging basics
Blogging basics include: 1. A blog is a webpage where content is stored in a metadata-rich format and displayed in reverse chronological order, with each piece of content usually authored by a single person and updated regularly. 2. Blogs usually include a social component like comments or trackbacks to communicate feedback. 3. Popular blogging platforms include WordPress, Blogger, and Tumblr, and blogs can be locally hosted using software like Drupal or hosted through a blogging service.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Introduction Why me? How many have a personal blog? Library blog? How many are signed up for both workshops?
- #3 What is a Blog? What do we mean?
- #4 Defining a blog is a lot like defining a “book”. Size isn’t relevant. Neither is content, or material, or binding, or nearly anything else. Definitions are hard. For a blog, nearly all of the above can change completely, and we’d still call it a blog.
- #5 So here’s the biggest definitional problem with talking about the future of blogs: what are we talking about? You can have the Form of a blog, without running a piece of blogging software. As well, you can use blog software for things that are not blogs. The form and the code are different things, even though we refer to them similarly. I am more interested in the form than the code. However, interesting things are going on with the code...various groups have harnessed Wordpress, for instance, to do everything from run their entire website (using WP as a generic CMS) to madmen like Casey Bisson who used Wordpress as an OPAC via his Scriblio product. Because it is Open Source, WP is used for MANY things that it wasn’t necessarily “designed” for. Closed systems don’t have this “problem”. I tend to be more interested in Form than Code, unless Code is giving me fun new toys to play with.

- #8 Decide on your tone, your voice, your need, and your audience before you start. Then change everything if you need.
