More about blogs
A blog is basically an online journal where an individual or a group of individuals can share their personal insights and stories with the public. The site is frequently updated and the content is generally displayed in reverse chronological order and visitors are encouraged to leave comments.
The Museum of London decided to blog because the main websites deal with events, exhibitions and collection, but the vast knowledge and personal insight of employees involved in projects are often not made available. The blogs enable our employees to give their own personal account of activities taking place and the lessons leant. Also, as visitors are able to leave comments and ask questions, it opens up dialogue between the Museum and our visitors.
The blogs can be found at:
