  6. 1) I don't know much about blogging.
    2) Yes, I think so but I don't remember which blogs they were.
    3) If I were to use a blog for personal reasons it would probably be just for me and my friends to talk and have discussions, things like that.
    4) Blogging started in the year of 1997 by a man named Jorn Barger.
    5) The benefits of using a blog would be that you could talk to your friends on there and hold discussions that other people could get into and have their own comments about the topic being discussed.

  7. 1.) I know that a blog is made up of opinions and it is appropriate for someone to comment a blog (if allowed) agreeing or diasagreeing with a post. Blogging can help you connect with people that have similar interests as you. Blogs are also used a lot for school or teaching purposes.

    2.) I have used blogs before. I had to use a blog for Honors English 9 with Mrs. Dubb first trimester over the summer. Also I have a blog on my own website I use sometimes. It is just something that I do for fun when I'm bored.

    3.) I would use a blog to talk about my daily life and I would comment onto others blogs with my own opinions.

    4.) In 1994 Justin Hall created the first blog while a student at Swarthmore College. Another early blog was Wearable Wireless Webcam, an online shared diary of a person's personal life combining text, video, and pictures transmitted live from a wearable computer and EyeTap device to a web site in 1994.

    5.) The benefits to using a blog are endless. It allows you to connect to a blogging "community". You can create a community of people around your site who will revisit your site regularly for updates. Posting a blog is almost effortless. Blogs can be updated as you wish, and are easy to use. Teachers can also you blogs so that students can axcess what they need to from any computer.
