ENDNOTE - AND...WHAT ARE BLOGS? According to blogger.com: "A blog
(short for 'web log') is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that
are arranged chronologically - like a what's new page or a journal. The content and
purposes of blogs vary greatly... Blogs are also excellent team/department/company/family
communication tools. They help small groups communicate in a way that is simpler and
easier to follow than email or discussion forums." Instructional Communications Systems
(ICS) University of Wisconsin-Extension has successfully created and is now using its
first blog. The ICS Customer Service Team is experimenting with this mode of
communication as a way to gather thoughts on the topic, giving each member a chance
to read and add to the comments from all other team members. (ICS Update, May 28
