5. Creating a Blog
What is a blog? What makes a good blog? What should your blog include? What should you not include?

Title - this must contain your preferred name. For example Vanessa's blog. Address - your real first name and initial of your last name. For example vanessat If at any time you are asked for an email address, use your school email address, not a personal one such as gmail. All posts should include a suitable post title and you should always use appropriate labels. For example, any post for ICT should be saved with an ICT label. All posts for Music should be saved with a music label. media type="custom" key="23681016"
