*What's a blog?

Much like an magazine, writers post articles on a blog (online) page. "Posts" are dated and categorized so visitors can read the latest message from the main page or search for a previous topic by date or category.

ITCS has several blog writers who post instructions, upgrade announcements and events for many of the IT systems at ECU.
