Well, this is my first official post and it's been tiresome getting to this point. In selecting a tool, I was looking for a great beginner tool that I could learn the basics so that I have something to take back to school in the fall. With this in mind,I took some time this week to review the different options that were available on blogger. Blogger was recommended by a colleague as being a great place to start blogging. I enjoyed testing out the different functions, but got caught up in some of the settings that delayed my actual posting. But, I finally made it!
For the most part, I stuck with this tool because it is very beginner friendly. If I had stuck with the defaults on most options, I'm sure I would be blogging away by now. Although I now have to get the hang of this tagging thing. One of the most important features that I like on blogger is the ability to moderate all posts. Because this is such a taboo area in the school system, I had to tread very carefully in it's use. So I like the ability to review any information that is submitted prior to it's actual posting on the web. This will be a safety feature that I will need to enable for anything my students will use. I like the ease of being able to comment to posts and also the ability to link to my "future" website. I wasn't as happy with the graphics side of the site...but perhaps when I'm more html knowledgeable, I'll be able to change that around as well.
I haven't decided to 100% stick with this tool, but I'll need a little more time to investigate different tools as I become more familiar with the general idea of blogs and tags.
Any suggestions or feedback about the process are welcome.
