Are Basic Blogs Too Boring?

Spice them up with:

Photos/Picture Slideshows (images must be stored on a site such as Flickr and assimilated on a site such as Slideroll, if you are planning to use a blog not tied to your network)

Video and/or Podcasts (casts must be hosted on a site similar to PodOMatic, if you are planning to use a blog not tied to your network)

Brandi Caldwell’s Castopia provides examples of video blogging and podcasts created by students last school year
