Week 2
Week 2 – In week two we looked at blogging and how to set up a blog – which is why I am now writing on here! We discussed how it’s an easy way of communicating with people and how blogging is a different way of writing as you can leave blogs open/incomplete for others to leave them comments and suggestions. I didn’t quite believe how easy it was to write a blog until now – the only thing that I’m not sure about is how to get people to join in with discussions on my blog, apparently the best way is to start looking at others blogs and linking their articles on your blog posts? Anyone had any luck with that? I’m also going to add my blog to my Twitter page – that might also help!
Also in Week 2 we went out and about in Birmingham on a Treasure Hunt to find Michael Grimes – and ask him about eco lifestyle in Birmingham. At first I didn’t really see the relevance to this and social networking online, but once we got out there and started speaking to people, we made contacts at ‘Birmingham Friends of the Earth’ and EnvisionUK’ whilst updating on Posterous and Twitter!
