What is a blog? Well, I’ve never really had a blog before, so this is new for me. But well, everyone has to start somewhere.

So, to begin with, a blog is an online media publication, traditionally consisting of varying lengths that are published in reverse chronological order. All posts also have a heading, date & time stamped, and usually attribute authorship. I can see that through this course I would learn how to identify, analyse and solve problems relevant to media practice, and help me write and publish for online media in the future.

The first class was pretty much an introductory into the new semester, and it was mostly spent on setting up our blog, knowing how to log in, knowing the URL of our blog, how to posts, activate spam filter and so on. We also talked about course outlines, assessments, readings, etc. As I had started this course partially before last year, I had a rough idea about what to expect, and it was pretty much the same basically, except for the fact that is now compressed into a 6 week course.
