At work, people often choose to or are asked to keep a log of their work—a written record of their experiences—in order to document what happened, where and when it happened, and most interestingly, why it happened.
Once the spiral-bound notebook was out and web pages were in, web + logs quickly became blogs , or first-person records of events and happenings, and a source of information.
Today, blogs are quite popular and offer a unique opportunity to share your voice with the world.
In this Assignment, you create and write one blog entry that combines words and images to share your experiences or to highlight a social cause you are passionate about.
