So, I just used this for my blog: http://tamesequels.blogspot.com, and will shortly be posting a digital literacy lab for this. Basically, if you want to put a blog feed as a widget on another blog, you can customize one for free on this website. It's really easy and it gives you a code at the end of the customization to post. Check out my blog to see one. It's the "My Photography" section, and you'll see how it posts everything from that blog really nicely. A great tool for making your website alive.
Add your bookmarks to you blog with this. Choose your options, click create script, then add a hyper-text widget to your blog design. Works great for me!
53% of bloggers are ages 21-35, followed by about 20% of 20 or youngers and 20% of 36-50s. Only 7% of blggers are 51-up -- still that's higher than I had thought.
here is a blog about the private sector and the world bank. this entry is specifically about transparency in the world bank. they want people also to participate via twitter, facebook and other digital medium.
I made a comment in class today about how there is a large industry that is kind of developing on the internet. That is an industry that is paid to give businesses higher profiles on the internet. My mother works at a company that inserts links onto benign blogs, just to get links to show up more often when you look things up on a search engine. Check out this guy's blog as an example. This guy isn't too sneaky about it: He puts his purpose in the title. Its just interesting to see the jobs that are opening up through the internet.
Fascinating! You could subscribe to the Boston Globe to read "The Word" written by this author, or you could read her blog. I'm thinking: open source, free media, etc.

I enjoy writing parts of my blog using html code, and I have been frustrated with my own blog that my links do not open up new tabs/windows so I thought I'd so some research on the subject. Well, this is how!
