I attended Shirl Kennedy’s “Weblog and RSS Boot Camp” on June 30th at the Tampa Bay Library Consortium. We were given everything we needed to enter this strange world of blogs.

I have read other blogs in the library field using RSS through bloglines.com. I have been surprised by the amount of information and insight being shared. I enjoy the personal easy going nature of some bloggers. The no nonsense technical stuff is also good to see out there too. Those blogs are a great help to me.

What does this blog offer? One thing is important beyond the rest. The blog is a community building tool. This blog can be the center of both a local and online community.
