INTRODUCTION

This booklet was created to illustrate and document the chat: Blogs and Presence Online I gave at Tappedin on February 16th 2004 for for the TESOL EVOnline 2004 Session: Becoming a Webhead. I have structured it around the questions posted in the blog opened at http://yomar.bravejournal.com/entry/536.

As I mentioned in previous posts to Yahoo Groups, I wanted to focus on the community needs rather than just babble about what I am doing.

From what I have read until now, I noticed that questions fall under 5 categories:

a) definition/contrasting/comparing blogs to forums, web pages, wikis
b) best blog providers
c) where to find and how to place add-ons like list of links, a tagboard / comment box, voice
d) how to make blogs collaborative and interactive
e) blog management in your everyday routine

Although I am not an expert, I am going to try and answer based on my experience and readings. I will be adding to the booklet more information from time to time so return to it often. Please let me know if you have other questions or if you find broken links. This is meant to be an interactive e-book to be used in conjunction with my Bee-coming a Webhead blog at http://beewebhead.blogspot.com
