What the Blog are you on about?

As promised, this weeks blog is devoted to....blogs. Now when the word "rubgy blog" is typed into a search engine such as google or dogpile, the links are endless. So these blogs have been picked out as some of the most factual, interactive and accessible to the user

The first link that is most likely to appear is the RugbyBlog, this is an official site set up for the public to offer their views about all that's going on in the rugby world. This website seems well produced, as well as offering tickets, clips and photos from the fans.

Blogging is a great way to get involved with media consumption. Although the target audience may not be reading your enthusiastic update to Rugby Union and/or League, it is available for the world to take a quick glance

Now the dropkicks blog is a great example of how Blogs can become interactive. It has various videos, subject to availability with shockwave of flash media players. This means a comment which is published can be backed up by images, rather than just the word of mouth which is a rather easy form of spreading news.

Times are changing and it won't be too long before most, if not all, blogs have a numerous ammount of videos, pictures and audio quality available

Blood and Mud is another site which is simple and easy to access. A key character to this one however, is its "Blog of the week", which this week went to http://ruggerblogger.blogspot.com/, similar to this format, also on blogspot

So the world of blogging is here: quick, easy and simple to navigate, anyone can get involved. Finallly, a player for the Austin Valkyries manages to spare some of her time to write a blog. It offers a better view to Rugby over in America, especially with womens involvement over there
