Blogging and Discussion Forums
Web applications excel at facilitating publishing and communications. For some applications, a full course management system is not what you need. If you are looking to publish work on the Internet, web log (blog) software can help you do it without any web design or HTML experience. If you would like to create an online forum for your students or colleagues to discuss topics and issues outside of the school environment, discussion forum software can have you up and running with very little effort and none of the normal challenges of creating and managing a website.

| WordPress |
| WordPress is the most popular self-hosted blogging program available today. It offers numerous attractive templates that allow you to publish a gorgeous blog without any web design or HTML knowledge. Rather than focusing on the technical aspects of running a website, WordPress allows you to focus on the content. If you cannot install WordPress on your own server, there are numerous hosting services that will do it for you. Some of these provide free accounts for educators and cater to their needs. |
