New Duff Blog

Over two years ago I played around with some blogging software from http://www.blogger.com which has now become part of Google. The software has become considerably more user friendly since that time. The way I am producing this entry is simply writing an email message from my work address. When I send it to the blogger it will automatically be published as the next entry. From there the blog will email copies of this post to all those on a preset email list. There are many other ways to add new material including pictures which are quite simple and I can also edit material very quickly. I am considering producing a news blog for the department such that any faculty member can simply email their news item to the blog and it will keep a constant update of the newest items and inform others of their presence. I think it will be a very convenient way of keeping people in touch which things going on.

Ok, I’m gong to send this email and we will see what happens.
