[nabs-l] how to blog

[Corey Cook]

Ashley,
It really depends on how often you want to update.
I have a blog I update now and then, and some people update daily or weekly.
Just depends on what you have to say.

Hi Courtney,
Thanks.  Does the site walk you through setting it up?
How often do you typically add to a blog?  I can do it daily now but if I 
get busier it may only be a few times a week.

What format are most blogs?  Like journals?  The guide dog sample Robert 
posted read like an entertaining journal explaining how that lady was 
preparing for guide dog school.

I might use this site to begin with.  Thanks.
