Getting started with blogs

So you want to set up a blog? Nothing could be easier. There's a very good step by step guide for setting up a blog in Blogger available from the Ohio State University.

If you're going to be reading student blogs then you should probably get familiar with RSS, and set up a Reader. RSS is a simple way of streaming web content to your computer, by subscribing to websites that frequently update. For example, you could subscribe to a news site and then be alerted every time a new article is published (careful, it gets overwhelming fast!).
