Blogging is fast becoming a cult phenomenon of the Y-generation. To be a successful blogger requires a distinct form of writing and creative organization. I'm very pleased that The University of Texas recognizes the importance of Internet technology and Web writing by creating Blogging Pedagogy.

Although some of you may think that blogging is a waste of time, professional bloggers around the world are using their blogging skills to position themselves as self-styled freelancers, entrepreneurs and published authors. University professors around the nation are finding that blogs enrich their teaching methods and classroom discussions. In fact, blogging is fast becoming a staple in the arenas of higher education, communications, marketing, business, computer science and advertising. I would encourage all aspiring writers to learn all they can about the blog media.
