HERE WE GO!!

WELCOME TO COGNAC! (cognacforus.com)

A BLOG (a truncation of the expression “weblog”) is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web (www) consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style entries (posts). Posts are typically displayed in reverse order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page. Until 2009, blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group and often covered a single subject or topic. In the 2010’s, “multi-author blogs: (MAB’S) emerged, featuring the writings of multiple authors and sometimes professionally edited. MAB”s from newspaper, other media outlets, universities, think tanks, advocacy groups and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic. The rise of Twitter and other microblogging systems help integrate MAB’s and single author blogs into the news media. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to the blog.

Our blog is a dual-author blog at this time. Because your authors are very new to this way of communicating, we decided to share the blog and one day we will break apart and create our own individual blogs. Ray Crisp will be blogging about various subjects that interest him and often will feature poetry from area poets with work from both children and adults. Patricia Smith will be blogging on various subjects that she likely spends too much time thinking about! We hope that you will enjoy our adventure! We have a goal of publishing twice-a-month at least to start with. We will be posting the availability of a new blog on Facebook and by email – so here we go!!
