Weblogs or Blogs are websites which use a diary or log format. They are easy to set up and configure and are also easy to maintain over time. Using Blogs, you can easily establish a web presence for yourself or your campaign.<br /> Blogs are good for posting updates about events or if you want to allow many people to contribute individual posts about a particular topic. You can incorporate into your blog other content that you've posted on sites like YouTube or Flickr.<br /> Popular blogger services are: Wordpress, Blogger and Blogspot. A great place to get started with using a blog is the 'Plan your blog' Web-page at Message-in-a-box - <a href="http://messageinabox.org/planyourblog">http://messageinabox.org/planyourblog</a></p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/taxonomy/term/102" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">blogs</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/taxonomy/term/101" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">social network sites</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/taxonomy/term/103" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">website</a></div></div></div> Wed, 02 Feb 2011 16:54:10 +0000 katie 36 at https://survival.tacticaltech.org https://survival.tacticaltech.org/internet/web-site#comments Social networking security https://survival.tacticaltech.org/internet/communities/security <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><img style="float: right;" src="http://survival.tacticaltech.org/sites/survival.tacticaltech.org/files/public/digitalsecurity/CH1_img10.jpg" alt="" width="75" height="108" />You should maintain your security awareness on these sites just as you would on any other. Beware of clicking on unknown links posted by other users, and of suspicious messages to your account. Also, remember that the information you put into a social networking site may not be private and many different people may look at it, including people that are not trusted friends. You can usually tune your privacy settings in your account options and control who can see your profile, but you might also consider signing up under a pseudonym to avoid divulging too much private information.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/taxonomy/term/101" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">social network sites</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/taxonomy/term/74" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">security</a></div></div></div> Wed, 02 Feb 2011 16:52:14 +0000 katie 35 at https://survival.tacticaltech.org https://survival.tacticaltech.org/internet/communities/security#comments Engaging communities online   https://survival.tacticaltech.org/internet/communities <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><img style="float: right;" src="/sites/survival.tacticaltech.org/files/public/digitalsecurity/CH2_img7.jpg" alt="" width="219" height="313" />In recent years the web has been increasingly used to allow communities and networks of people to share content and connect. The most well known of these are Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr but there are more being created all the time and millions of people are using them.<br /> They are a great way to find, and keep in contact with, people with whom you have lost touch. They are also very good for building and maintaining an online community with common interests. Many NGOs use Facebook groups and pages as a way to stay in touch with their members and keep them informed about their activities and events. It is often easier and more engaging to communicate and share information with large groups through a social network site rather than by email. Activists use YouTube and Flickr to share and publish online video and pictures.<br /> Facebook, YouTube and Flickr, along with other social network sites, feature the option to email you whenever a comment is made on one of your posts. In this way you can track people’s uptake of and response to your message, which will help you make decisions about the value and effectiveness of using different online platforms and services.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/taxonomy/term/102" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">blogs</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/taxonomy/term/101" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">social network sites</a></div></div></div> Wed, 02 Feb 2011 16:50:48 +0000 katie 34 at https://survival.tacticaltech.org https://survival.tacticaltech.org/internet/communities#comments
