ABOUT:

GSU blogs are a space you already have assigned to you as a GSU student. They are designed to be used for any purpose you might use a blog. You can keep a blog about anything, school related or not. You could use it to present for classes, or you could build a simple website. It all depends on the template you choose.

Supported

Mac, PC

Pros

• Multi-Use tool
• Easy to use and maintain once you get the hang of it
• You can change the whole look of your site just by changing the template

Cons

• It takes a long time to design your blog or website, and this can be a difficult experience for new users.
• Some template themes will allow certain actions, while others will not – or will ask for them to be performed differently. This can be confusing and frustrating.

Uses

 

Blogs can be used for any number of projects. A blog can be built to look like a website, or to keep a log of content like the example above.

You may be asked to keep a blog for a class, or you may elect to use the blog application to showcase a project, or keep your own personal record of your learning. The blog is only as limited as your imagination.
