blunderblogger inaugural post

I am required in my Not-for-Profit Management course to create a blog about blogging and post to it weekly.  Before today I had no idea what a blog really was, at least not in any technological sense of the word.  So, where to go...  the Internet of course.   Do you have any idea how many hits there are for one little word,"blog"?  This blog is meant to inform my peers and provide stimulating conversations in class and on the blog site about this chosen topic. That being said, here are a couple of interesting morsels I learned during today's search.

• The grandaddy of blogging seems to be Justin Hall from Swarthmore College, who first posted in 1994.
• Blog Day is August 31, a dedicated day for bloggers to network, if you will. The recommendation is that you pass on 5 blogs to each visitor.
• By February 2011 there were over 156 million public blogs to choose from.
