Summary of this Term

This term is technology class we were learning about blogging. Bogging is a tool used to post logs on the web. It is a sort of electronic diary or journal that you want to present to the public. The name comes from 1999 when Peter Merholtz shortened the term web-log to blog. A person who blogs is called a blogger and the world of blogging and the community of bloggers are called blogosphere. There are other services for blogging apart from Blogger like MySpace, LiveJournal or Wordpress. To be able to do a blog your computer must have some HTML knowledge.
To edit blogs you must first sign in to your account and go to the dashboard. Then, you  must select the blog you want to edit. You can create a new post or by clicking on "posts", select a previous post to continue.
In a blog, you can post images, videos and links. To do so, you must select the different icons and follow the instructions given.
Here is an example of how to insert a link:
To go to my Carrie Underwood page, I will name the link Carrie Underwood and the URL will be the one on the page.: 
Carrie Underwood
Unfortunately there is not an option to insert audio in a blog. But you can do this from Dropbox, putting the MP3 document in the Public Folder and then insert the link into the blog.
