I. Affordances
>Blogs allow for both average people and technologically informed people to communicate with one another.
>Use of multiple media is readily available for a blogger.
>Blogs allow for mass amounts of information to be shared.
>Blogs offer an opportunity to write more substance than, say, Facebook or Twitter.
>Blogs also present less freedoms than books or journals because they exist within a blogging institution with its own rules and regulations.
>Wider accessibility without the constraints of traditional publishing (time restraints, editting restraints, marketability restraints, etc)
II. Audience Involvement
>Topics should appeal to a target audience.
>The voice should be directly engaging, directly addressing the specific audience to encourage a forum-like feel
>Use of multi media helps attract and keep an audience interested
>Organization of pages important
>Visual appeal is important
>Pages should be easily to navigate from one to another
Suggestions
>One should learn all the tools readily at the blogger's disposal
>One should use multi media
>Page organization and lay out
>Know how to market the blog to a wider community. Link it to other blogs, actively market to forums, twitter, facebook, etc. Use the internet to rise above the pack.
>Word of mouth in social circles, work collegues, classmates. Make blog relevant to your life.
>Make it very accessible
