My experience with blogs

The only blogs I have really read have been to follow medical updates. The first was a friend in Va. Beach who was very ill and in the ICU and not able to receive visitors. Her son kept everyone informed via a blog. Then a few months later my Principal's infant daughter had open heart surgery and she used it to inform everyone as to her daughter's progress. Both created their own blog on this very site, but recently I have been following a blog of a friend's niece who is 5 and receiving treatment for leukemia. Her blog, I noticed, is sponsored by the children's hospital. I found all of these to be an extremely informative and efficient way to keep many people 'in the loop' as treatment/illness/recover progresses. Not to mention that it saved them having to repeat this information on many occasions and provides a way to document the experience. I even loved how they posted pictures and made the experience so real to everyone.





When I returned to school this year our principal had started a Principal's blog using Word Press which she updates regularly and posts on the school's website. Check it out. I love the look and feel of this and think it is so crisp and clean looking. I love how she adds the photos to help encode her message. About a month ago I sat with my SBTS and created my own, also using WordPress, but I haven't made any posts yet. I am working toward using this as a communication tool to update parents of what our AA lessons have been that week. Stay tuned.
