Intro to Blogs



Welcome to my new blog. And yes, the name is a mouthful. My apologies.

I've known about Blogs for some time now (at least 2-3 years), however I must say how impressed I am with the way different libraries and information services have been using it.
Aside from using it as a news service, updating patrons on events, exhibits and collections in the library, it provides an excellent way to deliver and store local history information and facts. The example of Sthn Tablelands Regional libraries is an excellent one. Check it out at : http://strlhistorymatters.blogspot.com/

I'm also interested in some of the comments made by other course participants, that Wordpress is a better Blog tool. I shall have to investigate this one.

Some of you may be wondering what connection the photo on this posting means and what it has to do with blogs.
Well, I must say nothing at all.

Till next post...
