Communicating via Blogging

A Kitscoty leader took the challenge and started to blog for the community of Kitscoty. What Diane uses the blog for is a communication tool. The focus is having a calendar of events so residents can look at a glance to discover what is happening in the community. Or, residents can look ahead to find out future events. If you look at the site you will notice that there is a lot happening! Check it out at kitscoty.blogspot.com Rural communities are busy!

I actually went on-line to find out the definition of a blog. It is one of those words that I know what it means, but where does it come from? Blog stems from "web log" and is a blend of the two words. In essence, it is a website where a person can add content in the form of a calendar, stories, pictures, and other relevant material. What a fantastic way to share what is happening in a community!

Blogging- what a creative, yet practical way to communicate to others in a community.
