I am really interested in what makes a good blog and it has been in my thoughts off and on for most of this year.
More than that I am also interested in what functions a blog can have in a teacher’s professional development, in their professional portfolio, or their professional learning environment.
You will see some of these topics in Blogging Corner, an edna Group for bloggers, would-be bloggers, and blogging mentors.
Tomorrow afternoon I am giving a session at the CEGSA conference called What’s in a blog? I’m trying to pass some of my enthusiasm, about the cathartic/clarifying experience that blogging can be, on to others.
Some other links that have interested me recently:
Much of your blog’s layout is determined by the blog tool that you use, but it’s good to put some thoughts into how you can improve on what you’ve got.
Please comment with your suggestions or tips/sites you’ve come across.

As a blogger with less than 30 days experience, I will be interested in what emerges here. I am still undecided on my answer as to what makes a good blog except that I hope I can build a PLN that develops my learning.
I need to enjoy my own blog so it currently has elements of both “me” and my professional life on it, otherwise it just feels like more work. Maybe I’ll refinne that view with more experience.
Hi Kerrie
Your list of resources for the presentation is very good. Did you think about something like http://www.problogger.net/ as an ongoing resource for tips on blogging?
I also think one of the keys to blogging is to read alot of other blogs so you can help readers put whatever you are saying in context.
