Great Class- Lot's of Information! :)

See everyone next week! Happy Friday!

It's a new blog

I am just posting a test document.

Purpose of my blog...

Help!! I already have too many blogs!!!

Yours, not mine

I'm interested in other people's blogs: How do I get information and messages onto the top blogs in various categories? So I need to learn blogging in order to better access BoingBoing, Method, Paleo-future etc. etc. with information -- without getting squirted out of the blogosphere like a watermelon seed for being a melvin.

I want to use as blog to.........

1. Keep my employers appraised of my work schedule/priorities.
2. All at UCSD who need or use my services.
3. Viewed and commented on by Hydraulics Lab personnel.
4. Two way communication.

i want to use a blog

1. purpose: to interact with students on campus life issues - gage the campus climate / culture
2. audience: students
3. authors: campus community
4. communication: two way

What I want for my blog

I want my blog to simply be my running weekly diary about my Self Expression and Leadership Class at Landmark Education in San Diego.

My intended audience is the other (approx.) 50 members of the class.

Author: me

Should be two-way, if that means readers can send comments.

Blog: Why, Who, How & What?

Purpose: To share stories about my life in San Diego, with the focus being on my toddler son.

Intended Audience: Interested family and friends

Author: Self

Communication: Two-way

Exercise 1

Purpose: Research and discuss topics relating to my work. Post inquires relating to new vendors, current developments in architecture and "green" building.

Audience: Office staff members and self. General public.

Author(s): Office staff members and self (?)

Communication: Two-way

...honestly, I just want to find a better way to utilize existing blogs for research purposes. I dont need to start my own.

Hi

Don't know what I am doing here or if this is the right place.
