5 Easy Ways to Enjoy This Blog

by E. Ross

Why did I chose a blog instead of a web site for Bent Alaska? What is a blog anyway?

The main advantages of a blog:

• designed to add new posts easily and often
• includes all kinds of media: text, photos, audio & video
• links to sources of information from all over the web
• allows readers to comment and read each others' comments

So how can you use the blog for maximum enjoyment?

1. Bookmark Bent Alaska or add it to Favorites and check often for new posts.
2. Navigate through the Categories to look for videos, photos, news, resources and regional events. Click on interesting headlines in the Archives menu.
3. Learn more about the topics, and email the contact people, by clicking on the highlighted words.
4. Subscribe to the feed. If you use a Reader to collect all of your news in one place, click the orange RSS button and send Bent Alaska directly to your inbox. (What is a Reader?)
5. Comment, on the blog or through email. Your feedback will help direct the development of the blog.
