Blog This Finally, we added Blog This! Before I talk about the feature, please allow me to give a little background on this important and hot new trend in internet use What is a blog? A ‘blog’ is a short form for weblog; a personal journal published on the Web. This is a frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links. More information on blogs can be found at Wikipedia. There are numerous blog hosts on the internet such as Blogger.com (www.blogger.com), Blogcity (www.blog-city.com), and others. Blogging allows people to share their ideas, opinions, and in this case, research results. As more and more professors turn to web-based content, blogs are becoming increasingly important, especially on the university campus. How EV2 enables Blogging: Blog This works much the same way as the RSS feed. Simply click on the Blog This tab and copy the HTML code into your Weblog. Conclusion: Faceted browsing and searches allow users to conduct more comprehensive research and get more relevant results while RSS and Blog this! features by providing flexible alerting options. Used together, these tools will help researchers spend less time looking for the information they need and allow them to integrate their research into their other on-line activities. 点击‘Blog This’按钮，选择框内显示的内容，粘贴到您的公告栏里；一旦在公告栏中发布，其标题便会链接至“记录”摘要。
