I'm not so sure that I want to set a blog but if I do, I will use it to communicate with friends and it will be a two-way communication.
If I create a site of my own the blog will be on my site, and I will be the blog administrator.
Right now I can't devote to much time to this task that's why I don't know if I will decide to have a blog.

brave new blogging

It always interesting to be confronted with what seems to be your native language, and allegedly a language you understand, only to find yourself wandering through a forest of new terms, new words and new concepts. The mind races to comprehend, struggles to keep up while despair and confusion clutch and grab, trying to bring you down. The question was posed: why blog? The best response seems to be because it's there.

Lucky Ducky's reasons for blogging

I want to set up a blog to share news with members of a social club to which I belong. It will be used to disseminate information such as upcoming events and other news of interest. I would like all members to contribute, to use it as a mechanism to socialize online when they can't meet in person.

I want to blog to....

I want to blog to help out my department. I am the assistant to the Chair and I have to interact with all faculty and staff. Currently we are having communication issues amongst the faculty and staff and blogging and wikis may be very helpful to our department. There is no single medium that everyone in the department uses which is partly why there is a communication problem. I am hoping creating a department blog and wiki will help keep everyone on the same page and well informed of all the issues and tasks that are being worked on. I will probably be the holder and creator of the department blog. The Chair, Committee Chairs, MSO and myself will be managing and administrating the blog; whereas staff and faculty will be able to provide comments. There are a lot of ongoing projects that I have noticed everyone has an opinion on, and blogging will be perfect to provide that option as well as document it.
