How to write a blog post

As you know, part of the requirements of this course is to keep a blog which will be a tool for connecting with other participants, as well as reflecting on and processing your learning.

Mini essay or concise paragraph?
In previous courses, participants have been concerned about what to put in a blog post and have tended to write mini essays.
