A weblog (which is sometimes referred to as a blog) is like keeping an electronic diary with a few 'added extras'. People reading your blog can leave comments on blog posts effectively turning a blog into a community conversation. A weblog can be a very useful tool in keeping members of your community and organisations up to date with news and events and can have a more informal tone than a traditional website.

To understand more about the 'weblog' tool offered by essexinfo.net and to see how to get started please go to the helpsheets.

For a more general introduction to 'blogging for councillors' there is some very useful information on the IDeA website.
