blogger videos- lesson 1-5

From the videos I have reviewed, its really easy to set up a blog. I actually was going to create one back in 2004/2005 when it first started getting the "it" thing to do but that idea passed. Its pretty exciting to have a blog but will need to think of what to do one on for my personal use other then school. What I didn't know with blogger.com is that you can set it up with your hosting provider's ftp log in. That definitely good for your personal website or company to link the two together.

One thing I have run across in my day job is the idea of running a blog for a program at Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo called Stone's Buddies. I originally was a part of creating the new website but my boss wanted IS&T web team to work on it. Anyways, they wanted to create a user blog that members could post info and share ideas about the program. One major issue they worried about was family members self diagnosing their kids and other users kids on the site. In the end I think they ditched the idea because they would need to create a monitor to watch the site. I'll have to look into it soon and see if it is in the works still as the final completed site is not up on the web just yet.
