Introducing Technology Blog Research Project

You should begin your blog post with the definition of your topic.  It is difficult to discuss a topic if your audience does not have the knowledge.  It is your job to give your audience the required knowledge to help them understand your writing.

What is a blog? An abbreviated version of “Web Log,” it was originally developed as a diary type site but has changed over time. Blogging has become an important part our culture and the blogosphere can have a significant influence in politics, business and society. Blogs typically have a single area of interest or topic and each “post” includes some element of that topic. The following is a list of components on a typical blog.

Headers are Good for Breaking up Sections

Your blog post is left justified.  You don't indent.

Paragraphs are small and chunky.
