How to blog

A blog is an online journal or informational website displaying information in the reverse chronological order, with the latest posts appearing first. It is a platform where a writer or even a group of writers share their views on an individual subject. Last session we learned how to create a blog so we could write our reflection on the five constructive tools. This time I am going to write down how we were asked to create a blog for ourselves. We were given a video tutorial and asked to follow the steps.

We created our blog on blogspots.com but to create any blog account an email account was necessary. Once we get into the new dashboard, we are to follow a series of steps before the final finish. We first need to choose a title for the blog. It should be something related to what we are going to write and blog about. Then we need to create a blogging address for a domain name. This address will help people find us on the internet. 

Next we have to choose a template for our blog and we were asked to choose ethereal theme for uniformity. After pressing the ‘create blog’ button, our blog is ready. We can edit our profile if we want to and then post articles related to the topic. I chose my title as integrating ICT in teaching and learning and my blog address is lhadenictastoolsforteaching.blogspot.com. This is my third post to the blog and to keep the readers engaged we need to keep up with the regularity of blogging.

Blogging for business, projects, or anything else that might bring money have a straightforward purpose. Another purpose of blogging is to connect to the world to relevant audience. The more frequent, the better the blog posts are.. Blogs also promote perfect reading engagement and a chance to comment and voice different concerns to the viewer. Therefore a blog is a strong communicative tool
