Blogging
- How to hook up and use a blog.

* if you took the digital is fundamental class, you can use the same blog, Flickr & Youtube accounts you created in that class for this class. 


A blog is many things, a personal website, an archive of media, the ability to broadcast a message to a greater audience, even an art piece in itself. 


You can use Blogger, Tumblr, Instagram or Flickr

Flickr is a photo storage/social website

Instagram is a social website/application that acts like a blog but for photos only.

Tumblr is a blogging website that has all the advantages of a social media website. It also gives us a different network to distribute on as Blogger and Youtube are owned by Google.

Blogger is Googles blogging system. It is social through Google +


Lets make a blog using Blogger
1- log into your Gmail
2- using the navigation in gmail (located in the upper right corner) click on the Blogger App icon
