A new blog person about to be born

Mary wrote me this morning:


Thanks for all the great information giving in response to my post asking for information about blogging. I was asked by several to post what I found out. All of the responses I received were positive. Many were kind enough to share their experiences and the links to their blogs.



It appears to take about 30 minutes of training to learn the basics and up to four hours for more refined techniques. One respondent said “Once everything is set up, blogging can be as easy as sending email. You are essentially typing and adding links to text.” All assured me that keeping up with the blog was not an overwhelming task (which was one of my concerns.)



Many suggested beginning by using http://www.blogger.com. “In just a few minutes (really!) and for absolutely free (really!) you can have a blog up and running on the Internet.”



I am going to try it out. I have a meeting scheduled with the IT people next week to get things moving.



Here are some links I was given that are “public” blogs. Others were also shared but were said to be “private” or I’m not sure whether they are public or private.
