Or more specifically about blogs.  This blog is set up on WordPress (but there are other technologies too – eg Movable Type, TypePad, Blogger (from Google).  The basic model is free and includes hosting.  This one is set up using only free technology so you can see what is possible. It took us less than 2 hours to set up and get going and it’s linked from our main website.  This gives it a separate identity (rather more casual) but still a similar look and feel.
The blog has a very easy to use Content Management System – there are many online tutorials and really, once the basic shape is in place all you need is copy, and media (photos, audio, video etc).
There will be a section for ‘tags’ – words you’d want to associate with your blog, which also help it come up in searches. You’ll also find buttons to help you upload pictures, videos, anything you’ve got that you want to put online.

You’ll have the option of allowing people to comment or not (whichever is your preference). All you have to do is write your entry, hit “publish” and it’s live. It’s really as simple as that.
