At first glance, it seems like a regular blog. But look closer and you’ll see there’s something very odd about the blog’s content: It’s very familiar. Too familiar. That’s because you wrote it — six months ago on your own blog. The rest of the content doesn’t make sense: The same word repeated over and over again. There are ads all over the sidebar for products like Viagra and mortgage loans. This, you realize, is a splog, and you’re the victim.

“Splogs,” or spam blogs, are one of the methods spammers have adopted to manipulate the blogosphere for profit… But why do sploggers do it? How do you know if you’ve been splogged? And what can you do to stop it? Here are a few tips…

Engayne at 50 – 1958-2008

In 2008 Engayne Primary School celebrates its 50th anniversary – as part of this they are aiming to create a ‘blog’ of memories of Engayne for their school community to share both now and in the future.  Do you know of anyone who attended Engayne when it first opened in 1958 or maybe even taught at the school then?

Synopsis

Blogging is now a worldwide phenomenon with weblogs reaching a potential audience of hundreds of millions.

Blogs have been described as the ultimate in publishing for the people and have been used to challenge governments and the press.

Steve O’Hear, one of Britain’s digital evangelists, explores how blogs can be used in schools. Steve finds some enthusiastic primary age bloggers and sees how it helps in literacy, ICT skills and a range of other subjects.

He finds many of the benefits extend beyond the curriculum. Blogging can help pupils:

  • Develop confidence
  • Improve their self expression
  • Get a real sense of fulfilment from publishing their work

In West Blatchington School in Hove, blogging is practised by everyone from the head down. Steve visits the school’s after-school blogging club, a special bloggers’ assembly and sees weblogs being used in the school’s autistic unit.
