Blog Review
Tool: Blogger (www.blogger.com)
Review of Tool:
Using blogger is FREE and requires a user to Log-in with a Google account OR sign up for a new Google account (also FREE). Once that is completed the user is given clear directions on what is needed to complete the registration process. The hard part is figuring out what to start blogging about!
I found blogger to be user friendly with the perk of a quick registration process. It is connected with Google which offers other options such as linking with friends and creating circles with already formed contacts. Blogger offers a limited amount of templates for personalizing your blog, but comes with a customization option that includes background, layout, font, and many other items to change for those of us who have a couple of hours to spare.
Recommended Use for Public Health Messaging: Blogging offers public health officials the freedom to discuss and engage others from all over the world around a single or numerous health topics. These records are kept online as references for anyone to go back and look through them, without having to connect with the initial author. These messages are accessible at any time of the day which makes the content more convenient for a reader's viewing pleasure.
The comments section facilitates communication and allows everyone to be aware of the discussion that is centering around a particular topic. Utilizing blogging as a way of spreading health messages is another avenue that must be explored in order to ensure that public health knowledge is being spread to the entire population.
