How to blog properly? Tips

Blogs or Weblogs are the fastest growing technology on the Internet. With there being so many blogs now, how can you make our blog known and get people to read it? How can our blog become outstanding if there are so many people who are trying to accomplish the same thing?

New textual mechanisms are taking over to render the act of reading easier and more intuitive because we get tired soon from reading on a screen.

Nelba - Hey, great blog. I am hoping to see the rest of this blog entry as I am keenly interested in the topic. I am dedicated to instructional design and teaching a TEFL course on line, and it has been very rewarding. We are using Moodle, which I am still learning how to use! Hopefully you can give me some tips about blogging and on line training... Take care...

I like your slideshow, people enjoy visuals and colours as well.

My best wishes for a very successful blog!

I have friedns and family living abroad or in other cities, and they usually complain about the fact that I am pretty lazy for writing letters and going to the post office. So, e-mailing was a solution for me. A really turning point took place in 2001 when I was invited to an on line course on " How to evalute websites" carried out by another Argentinean - Prof. Norma Scagnoli- working at the University of Illinois. She introduced me into the virtual world and there I met one of my dearest cyberfriends: Prof. Dafne Gonzalez. From that moment my virtual life started. I bagan exploring the net and that same year I opened my firs e-group: English Virtual Community. My first steps on the Internet were really awful. I used to have dial up connection, so my experience was a bit poor. I could not spend much time on line and
