I’ve Been Blogged!

Lets Talk About Life at Blogged

Like many Blogs, mine has ended up on the popular Blogged.com web site.  This site categorizes, indexes, and even reviews Blogs of many types.  It even offers RSS feeds which allow individuals to ’subscribe’ to specific web sites and Blogs so you know when a new posting has shown up.  The site even rates the Blogs and the site states (regarding ratings) “Editor reviews are provided by professional editors who evaluate a blog based on the following criteria: Frequency of updates, Relevance of content, Site design, and Writing style”.

I teach a class called ‘Web Expressions‘ at Plymouth State University and a significant component of the class focuses on creating and maintaining a worthwhile Blog. I’ll be using my personal Blog as a sort of ‘laboratory‘ for the class; mainly to show examples of Blog entries, the importance of hyperlinking, and how pictures can add creativity to the Blog.  I’ll also refer my class to Blogged.com as a resource and hopefully my students will get excited about Blogging and it will facilitate them expressing themselves on the web.
