Welcome!

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the first day of our blogging class. On some days I will be posting my expectations for what I want you to write on particular days; other times, I'll simply ask you to write anything you're interested in. Today I have put together a few blog sites you might be interested in. Check them out and let me know which ones were your favorite. Pay special attention to how the bloggers (the writers of the blogs) create their posts and what they have to say. Eventually, you will be the experts blogging about your own topics.

http://pushtotalk.spl.org/- A blog about teen books

http://sports.yahoo.com/sports-blogs/- A blog for sports

http://www.engadget.com/- Technology blog

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/- Up to the minute news blog

http://themovieblog.com/- Blogs about movies

When you are finished reading these blogs, I want you to search for blogs using Google. Search for blogs and topics that are of interest to you in some way. Pay attention to the way the person writes his/her blog because you will be using similar techniques and methods when writing your blogs, starting on Tuesday.
