I am still working on setting up my blog and trying to understand what it is and how to use it.  I found the following definition from the University of Lethbridge:

Blog - A web log: an on-line diary or frequently updated personal web page.

I think the next step will be to find educational blogs and see how they are using them.  I still not sure how I can get my students involved with blogging.  I have some ideas but I feel I need to know more about it before I get the students involved.  I am still uncertain about some of the widgets and how they work so I will continue to explore that as well.  I have to admit that understanding the new terminology is slowing me down.  I will look for definitions.   I know Barb’s site McBlogin  will help alot when I get a chance to explore it.  I did find out how to use the spell check but I am still curious about whether you can use a spell check when you leave a comment on another blog.  I am also curious if anyone can leave a comment on a blog or if you have to be a blogger.
