Weblogs are on-line sites used by communities drawn together for conversations about specific topics. Generally organized in chronological order, they offer information about meetings and assignments, forums for discussions and essays, and references to other sites and sources. They are particularly useful for First Year Seminars and writing intensive courses, affording students and writing teachers access to information and research materials, and providing convenient forums for all kinds of writing and presentation.
