Blog noun
- 1.a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style.
Blogging "newbies" always want to know: How long should my post be? What do I write?
The answer to that depends on your audience and purpose. For instance, if you are building a blog as part of a course, your instructor will usually give you instructions on what to write and the length. However, your blog should reflect who you are. For more tips on this go to Studio 3880 and read "Finding Your Writer's Voice".
To add media, most blog engines will have an easy to find icon or menu bar at the top of the post page. Blogger also has tutorials and easy to use Help links. We have also included rubrics for your blog.
