I would like to post a blog for my residency training program on my web site. This would be useful for residents to express issues regarding clinical and academic experiences. I would like it to be dialogue used to enhance the educational experience of residency.

My Purpose

I want to set up a blog to create a record of my life. I would like to document important events and some of my daily activities. My intended audience would be people with similar interest as me and I would allow comments from people I know.

I want a blog to deliver departmental news to the EH&S department. Is it a better way to go than using Adobe GoLive to maintain an old-fashioned Web site?

I think it would be 1-way communication at first. Perhaps I could invite 2-way communication later. How serious is the spam problem?

Alumni Communication

I want to set up a blog to enhance communication between Rady constituents: alumni, staff, faculty and students. The intended audience will be primarily Rady alumni. The author would be a Rady staff member. Communication would be two-way.

Purpose of My Blog

I am thinking of a blog to relay information to fund managers & faculty assistants. I would like to have them be able to comment or provide insight on subjects that come up, ie new policies/procedures they have encountered. I would like two way communication.

I am considering setting up a blog....

1) To provide journalists with story tips and news from UC San Diego. In this case, there would be multiple contributors -- my colleagues in University Communications and Public Affairs. Ideally, the communication would be two-way but if the blog proved too attractive to pranksters and snarky commentators, it might have to become one-way.

and/or

2) To stay in touch with friends and family. Here, I would be the sole contributor and would hope for lively interaction with the intended audience.

Web 2.0

Two way communication is the primary goal for my blog. I would like to begin a blog to have discussions with students about what they are thinking and learning about.

My favorite new site

It's www.fantasticfiction.co.uk. Great place to look at authors and lists of books. Especially if I want to see what's in a series.

I want to set up a blog to...

... provide web administration and publishing information to web administrators and web content writers in the divisions of the Department of Medicine. Initially I'll be the only contributor, and others will post comments. I expect the communication to be two way. As I learn more about wikis, I may decide to use a wiki for this purpose instead.

We use a blog to post news for the Department of Medicine website -- UCSD IWDC set this up for us.

I want to set up a blog to

develop better communication with students and instructors. I want to set up 2 blogs. One is for the instructors that teach the courses in the program area I coordinate. The other will be for students to give me feedback on the instructors, content of courses and courses they would like to see offered. Communication would be two-way. I would be the administrator.
