The ability to have global reach so easily is amazing. I think most folks stii do not understand the significance of that. I was suprised by a journalism student last week who asked me, "what is a podcast?" I think in the long term this is bigger than the Gutenberg press.Steve Sloanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13606588621484797870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357632986488363870.post-33691699521381598792006-08-27T19:30:00.000-07:002006-08-27T19:30:00.000-07:00There are different kinds of blogs.

Serious bloggers use Blogware or Wordpress, or other tools that you have to pay for. Or they use Google's Blogger, which is free.

And yes, if you interview with a magazine or newspaper they'll ask what you've written. Your blog is part of your portfolio.Lilly Buchwitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703246354117440637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357632986488363870.post-90103094344088322922006-08-27T00:57:00.000-07:002006-08-27T00:57:00.000-07:00I deleted the last one because I made a spelling e...I deleted the last one because I made a spelling error.<br /><br />Do employers seriously ask you if you have a blog? I always found blogging to be a form of self entertainment rather than a journalistic tool. What does a blog demonstrate to a perspective employer?Amirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12251846147029933915noreply@blogger.com
