Weblogs and WordPress

My Weblog experience with WordPress was enjoyable and not labour intensive at all. I had the option of either working with templates, in which I do not have to know html language or I can choose to work with html. The user interface was very user friendly and it was easy to add pages, post blogs and follow discussions. RSS feeds were useful in following posts etc. The ease of use and the ability to hold threaded discussions were a surprise to me. I can definitely see myself using WordPress for personal blogging as well as with my students in developing their e-portfolios and personal blogs as well as hosting discussions.
