[nabs-l] how to blog

[Corey Cook]

You can put it as a link on fb, put a link in your email signature,
And write how you want,
Be it first person essay like, or research paper like.
It is your blog.

Hi Kerri,
Have you used both of these?  Are they fully accessible?
If you blog, what format do you use?  A first person journaling style?

How do you all promote your blog?
