Blogging

So, ironically enough, this is a blog about blogging. As OT students we are being taught to blog as a way of communicating over the internet. It is a great way for OT's to communicate and express their ideas to other OTs worldwide.

Blogger:

Blogger began in 1999 and was created by Pyra Labs, a small company in San Francisco. Despite a few hiccups along the way (money troubles) Blogger has become a great website used by thousands of people. In 2002, Google bought Blogger, meaning Blogger is now a small team in Google.

Blogger gives people the ability to create blogs with ease. The blogs can be easily customised, with backgrounds, styles and colours. Blogs give people the chance to express themselves on the internet, wether this be your own personal thoughts, a news flash or photos (among plenty of other things!) Blogger offers features such as your own free website, a customisable template, a simple to use interface. It allows you to add photos and videos to your blog and build up online communities. Once you have opened a Blogger account you create your profile and you can comment on other peoples blogs, which allows for an even easier way of communicating online! Blogger even allows you to blog through your cell phone!!
It doesn't take long to create a blogger account and create your own personal blog, Blogger has made this process incredibly easy!
