Web logging, or blogging, has become a new tool in recent years, not just for the classroom, but for professionals as well. Putting your writing out on the web gives others a chance to comment on what you have to say about a range of topics. You can come across people who tend to agree with you and those who think you're absolutely crazy for thinking that way. But that's the best part! Having a full on debate or discussion about an issue gets everyone's mind thinking in ways it may not be used to.
I told my dad how we had to blog for our Rhetoric class and how I can never come up with topics to write about. Blogging isn't easy for me whatsoever. But he actually liked the idea of blogging in school. He told me how people in the workplace are becoming increasing illiterate in their emails and presentations. He believes blogging teaches us how to communicate in a formal fashion and prepares us for the business world. So even though blogging can be seen as stupid, hard, or pointless, it actually is one of many tools that can potentially help us in the bigger picture.

Your dad is right. If you go to the blogging folder, look at the new message I put in it about professional blogging. It is filled with suggestions about how to communicate ideas effectively and use key words in your blog post titles to get the attention of potential readers. There are about twenty tips, and most of them are vital in business communication.
