Well that was painless!
I did manage to stumble my way through the set up fairly easily... Signing on to set up an account with blogger.com, I never realized they were affiliated with Google.
Already having a google groups account, I was able to use my profile and jump straight in. (If you're thinking about forming a group for a project, use Yahoo. It's easier, more organized and cleaner. )
The whole experience of setting this up was super fast - probably less than ten minutes with video links thrown in. I still want to come back and customize it some more. I can't believe how easy some of this technology is and the effect it will have for training union members for their day to day jobs.
My initial thoughts about blogs were of computer type people discussing Star Trek episodes or something, but this has really awesome potential for training. For me, I could set up a blog for code problems that occur in the work I'm involved in (Wind, Solar, High Tech projects) and have the common solutions posted right here. It's just one more tool to make our lives easier....

Steve,
ReplyDeleteNice setup on the blog page. The video links are a nice addition. My utility local just went through the Code of Excellence program from the IBEW. I agree the blog was easy to setup, however I am definitely new to some of this technology.

Steve,
ReplyDeleteNice product! You have really set the bar here for first time bloggers like myself! Perhaps you know if there is a way to connect to your followers.

Mike,
ReplyDeleteNo I don't know apart from making a post on the blog itself. Wouldn't they be notified to the change though? I'm new at this too. Maybe this will pop up on your dashboard?
Mike, your blog is great. I really like the links at the bottom that feature your screencasts. Just that right there is a great way to use a blog as a learning tool. Nice job!
