Lions, tigers and blogs - oh my...

I'm new to the blogging thing, so this space will be a trial-by-fire of sorts. I'd like to use this course to learn new techniques that will aid me in my storytelling and reporting future. I have some experience using multimedia in various projects, but I feel that video and audio really add a different element to a stroy, something lacking from print journalism. I also would love to learn a lot of new information since I am not sure exactly what I expect the class to be like. Something challenging that will have me doing and learning different things would be great.

I really don't read any blogs online, and one of the few "blog" style articles I do remember reading include this recent one from sports journalist John Buccigross. Bucci simultaneously blogs two hockey games, played 17 1/2 years apart. It's an interesting approach, and he has done in-game blogs in the past. It's almost like an text-based internet play-by-play.
