BIG IDEA:

• Using blogs for witnessing.
• Making Christian voice heard online.

Reasons why we blog:

- Personal sharing about life, how we became Christians
- Connect with people, ex- classmates
- Blog-tag others
- Get comments from others
- Tell stories

How can blogs be used to share Christ?

- share struggles how we overcome them
- post questions about life
- using photos
- cheer people up
- product placement: reviews on what we use/ talk
- Link ‘secular’ things like movies to God

Any observations/ trends in your blogs:

- Wordpress – can find stats
- Sites with applications to track trends – check Google

Reasons why we don’t blog:

- don’t want to share private info
- facebook, friendster enough – pics tell everything

Guidelines for good blogs:

- Keep it short
- Don’t be pushy
- Can use videos, photos
- Photo-blogging (use captions, photoshop it)
- Be “smart” – know what to put on what not to.
