Tips on using Blogger technology
Hey, folks, the Blogger is a means to an end. I want you to use it to become better communicators and PR specialists. We just need to use it enough to get ideas across and communicate as a class.
I've been blogging for a couple of years now. Professionally, I worked as a Web producer for Nola.com and we used blogs for breaking news, announcements and news briefs. During the storm, we used blogs to save lives and get valuable info across the country.
On personal note, I started my own blog in 2004 to chronicle my weight loss journey. Here's a sample of a blog entry using blogger -- BandAid: A Weight Loss Journal: Shrimp Salad Entrees: Test Kitchen Series.

All about Blogger's post editor
Blogger's post editor has three modes:
- Compose: a wysiwyg mode where you manipulate text with formatting buttons
- Edit HTML: a raw mode where you edit the html manually
- Preview: renders a full-body preview of the post, including its Title, links and images
