Reflection day 6

What exactly are a blog, blogging, and Wiki?

Day VI   10^th July

I have heard the term “blog” and wanted to know what blogs are all about but couldn’t get the right place to learn about them. As my tutor took us through his presentation on the blog, I came to know all the knowledge we need to start a blog of our own. Now I am able to create my own blog in my own simple ways to share my thoughts with a handful of readers and hope to have many in times to come. I would rather interpret a Blog as one’s own website to update on an ongoing basis of the online individual journals to express ourselves to the world our opinion and passion. Really, it’s anything we want it to be.

To have one free blog, we need to sign in to our G mail account and pursue few steps like;

1.      Sign in our Google account.

2.      Connect Google apps.

3.      Opt for blogger

4.      Compose an address in URL with a blog title

5.      Select a template.

6.      Insert one personal profile.

7.      Modify the owned blog design and layout.

The heart and soul of a flourishing blog is great content. Blogs are not books, and they require having more than just a huge block of text to keep the readers’ interest in providing valuable content that people actually want to read and share with their friends. So to post on our blog, you need to first go to a new post where a page opens up. You can have the writing with images, videos, different fonts, and colors that make our content look eye-catching and appealing. Once you have completed writing the post, click publish to share with your friends.

Wiki is part of server software that allows users to liberally produce and change Web page content by means of any Web browser. It is an extraordinary Wiki usage that allows everyday users to create and edit in a Web site that is exciting about the content composition.

To have a Wiki page, follow the steps below;

1.      Sign to our Google account.

2.      Connect on the Google apps and find sites.

3.      Click on sites and include the essential information to form a Wiki page.

Such page can be used to share our writing, notes, announcement, or notices to our friends without manual work and it also systematizes a lot of activities that put aside time resources utilization. It can be instantly through only if there is access to the internet.

With this background information of making one’s life easier and exciting, I have taken up the initiative to create my school Blog (Issuna Primary School) which is near to completion. In hope of motivating my colleagues and other friends, I requested them to visit my blog and post their comments and views.
