Week 1

Well it's all about blogging, plagiarism and '10% good stuff and 90% crud' theory at the moment.

I have had my eyes opened this week with trying to think why on earth it is necessary to blog? (I was offered 5 reasons in Who Magazine (Lorenzo Bennell and Richard Jerome, Feb 2, 2009) about a person who has been blogging for his newborn daughter who's mother sadly died 3 days after her birth. The blog http://www.mattlogelin.com/ started as a way to keep family and friends informed but has opened up lines of support for the father and is building as a record of the daughters mother for when she is old enough to appreciate it. So all that is a good reason for him and his 40,000 followers.)

1. support
2. information
3. posterity (this will need to be proven)
4. gives other people something to read
5. creates dialogue
