Getting started

Blog questions
A) What does "Blog" mean?: A blog is a webpage were people can write and post (add) comments, writing or photos. Blogs show these posts in chronological order (newest first) and their biggest advantage is that the post are automatically shown in the page.
B) Define "blogging.": Blogging is the term that referrs to writing posts in a blog (posting).
C) What is the difference between a blog and a book?: Blogs are interactive tools, which means not only creator but viewers can post comments, and they are also constantly changing and developing different topic disscussions. A book just informs readers, but doesn't allows them to interact directly with it.
D) How have blogs changed recently?: Around the 90's, the blog were used as the "online diaries" of the users, where they expressed their feelings, thoughts and opinions, but didn't offer the viewer to interact. Nowday's blogs are two-way conversation tool between creator and viewers.
E) Why might you read a blog?: Blogs are very useful and interesting, if you like the topic of the blog. They can be used as a tool to talk with other people about your perspectives and thoughts of a topic, or to receive help from other viewers (tips, experiences and lessons)
F) Is there reason to doubt the objectivity of a blog? Why? Why not?: Yes, because probably the person who wrote the blog, or one of the viewers who commented are biased and can inform you false information, because you don't even know who they are, and how much do they really know about the topic.
G) What do you think our blog will be about this semester?: I think that our reading blog will basically analize and disscuss the different books we read through the year, and how those specific book try to explain who we are, where do we go, etc... Also this blog would be very useful so we can see what other classmates think, in order to learn from them.
