Read ALL the instructions first

First post to be 150 words...of course I had already posted before I got to that bit.
What do I hope to learn? Well, I have already learned that creating a blog is easy - finding intelligent and entertaining things to write in the blog - not so easy.
People use blogs to write about all sorts of things - hobbies, projects, special interests, Obama mania etc. How can libraries use blogs? To tell customers about new services and resources and to get customers to tell us back what they think of same. To promote specialist groups such as Book Clubs, Writer's groups, Local History groups, Friends of the Library etc. and to give these groups a forum for communication.
Have I got to that 150 words yet? Close enough.

Beginning the adventure

Sofar, so good with the blogging.
I enjoyed the videos, especially Stephen Fry who really is an international treasure. The example blogs from other public libraries were OK but not inspiring and had next-to-no comments posted. Of course, that does not mean people are not reading them. Seems like a good format for newsletters.
The Teen blog was visually pleasing with content of interest to Teens.
