Editing Blogs

BlogEasy

'''Strengths'''
•	It’s free and easy to use.
•	You can search within the site
•	Allows you to upload photos for free
•	Allows you to feed content from another blog service into BlogEasy
•	Has FAQs and a Forum to help users
•	Allows multiple authors and editors

'''Weaknesses'''

•	Although it says in the Terms and Conditions for the Forum that moderators, administrators and the webmaster will not tolerate any offensive, abusive, vulgar or sexually orientated material, when I looked at the sites and the postings on the forum there were a lot of references to porn.  Monitoring is obviously weak.
•	The comments section on the blogs is very messy.  Seems to show some html code, which makes reading the comments difficult.
•	Could not see any RSS facilities
•	Doesn’t seem to offer anything new or outstanding which would make it different from other Blog sites.

'''Opportunities'''

•	Any free blog site gives users an opportunity to share information with others and to create online communities of users
•	Useful way of communicating information and ideas to a group of people, particularly if they are working at a distance from each other.

'''Threats'''
•	Blogging tools in general tend to encourage the proliferation of useless information.  Quality is often poor and quality and accuracy of information is not guaranteed.
•	Adds to information overload.

Strengths - It's easy to register and upload a picture, also to add a new blog, (there are a list of tabs at the top right hand side of the page that at not obvious, but once you have realised this you can do everything from there)
Weaknesses - Not obvious where to go to view all your blogs etc. No functionality to add RSS feeds. Doesn't feel as user friendly as other social networking sites - Facebook.
Opportunities - Somewhere to reunite with old friends and meet new ones, it's easy to write and add blogs. Can add pics, videos, comments as well as blogs.
Threats -
