• Downes says: Blogging is about first, reading. But more important, it is about reading what is of interest to you: your culture, your community, your ideas. And it is about engaging with the content and with the authors of what you have read – reflecting, criticizing, questioning, and reacting… It’s about engaging in community.

What it is…

• A web based journal or log book
• Chronologically ordered
• Linking
