Blogs....Here I come!

The place was in the heart of Makati, the floor was in the 16th, the time was 9am...I started my Blogging 101 Workshop together with Sir Flu and Ms Nadine.

The smart and nice lady who talked about this blog stuff was Ms. Janette Toral. I learned what blog is all about, types of blogs, content development ideas, important things about copyright ( i was surprised to learn about copy left...whoa!), blog promotion and sustainability, etc.

According to Ms Janette, blog is a website that is used in the manner of an online journal. Blog focuses also on a particular subject and it can be used also as online diaries. And my! There are many types of blogs! They are :
  • personal
  • professional
  • moblog
  • paid
  • cultural
  • business
  • collaborative
  • educational
  • directory
  • link
  • forum
  • spam or splog
  • political
  • warblog

Aside from blogging concepts, Atty Marquez of Business Software Alliance talked about Software Piracy and the five common types of software piracy. These are end-user piracy, client-server overuse, internet piracy, hard disk loading, and software counterfeiting. I believe students, parents, or ordinary people whose work is inclined with computer software must be given information about software piracy. It's better to be informed than pay and worst, go to jail.

Our morning session was okay!I learned a lot about blogs and software piracy.
