2. What is a blog?
A blog is a personal journal space on the web that can be about anything the author
wishes it to be. Some people write about their life and others choose a very specific
topic or interest. These sites are easy to update so daily entries are possible. It is also simple to change the overall appearence of
most blogs. Pictures can be added, links, whatever you want, it's basically your own personal website. The fact that they are free on
many sites make them an appealing place to vent frustrations or share valuable experience. Interested in starting one? Try one of these sites which
are a few of the most popular ones on the web:

Although they are few there are guidelines to posting a blog on our site:
- The blog should be about a teacher focusing on the english language as a foreign language. This could be
any one of the following scenarios, maybe others:
- A teacher teaching english to foreigners in their home country.
- A teacher teaching english in a foreign country where they are a foreigner.
- A teacher teaching english in their home country as a second language.
- The blog should not be extremely offensive in nature.
- All blanks on the entry form should be filled out completely to the best of the bloggers ability
The entry will be reviewed by our staff and an email will be sent informing you about your entry. The email will detail if any changes need to be made
with the title, etc.
