Do you need a blog ??


Blogs provide web templates that enable people to post information on the Internet without knowing any html code for web page design. In addition, the templates are set up so that anybody else can very easily post a comment or reply to any of the information posted on a blog.

Blogs are being used for a wide variety of purposes.

Blog accounts are available from a variety of sources.

Some search engines are specializing at indexing of the "blogosphere"

Disclaimer:
Now that almost anybody can easily post their thoughts on the Internet it is even more important to critically evaluate what you find on the Internet before deciding what to believe.

  • Who is responsible for the content of a blog or website?

  • What are this person's qualifications?

  • Is this person representing an organization vs. giving a personal opinion?

  • Does the site give references to their sources of information?

  • Do other sites agree or disagree with the information presented?

My bookmarks at delicious.com

Some bookmarks for my favorite recreations are now on my California River Directory - Conservation and Recreation. An RSS newsfeed is available for subscription if you want to keep current on the links that I post there.

Evolution of Web 2.0



Just when I thought I had it figured out the Internet is evolving into a very different, much more interactive place. Signing up for my own blog was easy. Posting commments on somebody else's blog is even easier.

Here are some of my pictures from Sacramento zoo on my Flickr account. Please log in and add your comments to the pictures, or subscribe to the RSS newsfeed so you can easily learn whenever I post more pictures into Flickr.

The Davis Wiki provides an interactive site where anybody can add to our collective knowledge on the City of Davis, California. Here is my page on the Davis Wiki. I'm making a page on Yolo County Recreation to list our nearby recreational opportunities.
