"Cool...but how to blog ah?"

For those who are thinking of the question above, think no more. This is the first of a few articles to get everyone up to speed to the world of blogging.

A blog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically — like a what's new page or a journal. The content and purposes of blogs varies greatly — from links and commentary about other web sites, to news about a company/person/idea, to diaries, photos, poetry, mini-essays, project updates, even fiction.
Blog posts are like instant messages to the web.

Many blogs are personal, "what's on my mind" type musings. Others, like ours, are collaborative efforts based on a specific topic or area of mutual interest. Some blogs are for play. Some are for work. Again, like ours, some could even be both.

Blogs are also excellent team/department/company/family communication tools. They help small groups communicate in a way that is simpler and easier to follow than email or discussion forums. A blog can help keep everyone in the loop, promote cohesiveness and group culture, and provide an informal "voice" of LP8 to outsiders.

To start, you'll need to create an account. By now, you would have received an invitation e-mail. Complete the registration process.

Once you are done, log into the site. The sign-in box is located in the upper-right corner of the Blogger homepage, where you can enter your username and password.

When you are properly logged into the site, choose this blog (LP8 Hot To Go) and start adding in your articles.

Don't worry if your england is not powderful enough because, frankly, we don't care if you don't cross your "i"s or dot your "t"s ;)

Happy blogging!
