Tonight, on the Assistive Technology Show, we'll bring you the second part of our two part blogging series.  Do you have something you want to share with
the rest of the world?  Maybe you've done some interesting things in your life, have taken interesting trips, or just think you're doing something the
world would love to read about.  Tonight, we'll show how you can write your very own blog.  I'll demonstrate two popular blogging sites and will go through
the process of writing and publishing a blog.  Blogging not your thing?  Come anyway, as we always do our best to answer any assistive technology, or technology
related question you may have.

So, what the heck is a blog anyway?  Well, they're informative, interesting, often entertaining, pretty darned addictive and very accessible.  Basically,
a blog is like a web-based journal, or diary.  Anyone can write a blog about their life, happenings in their family, their trek across Africa, or anything
else that they feel might be of interest to others.  In addition to individuals, companies are using blogs to inform consumers about the development of
new products and services.
Tonight, we'll talk about blogs, how to find them, how to read them and ways to organize multiple blogs for easier and more efficient reading.  So, if you're
a blog reader with a blog you think might be of interest, are curious about blogging, are currently a blog reader and want to learn how to more efficiently
access multiple blogs, or just want to learn something new, come join me, between 7:00-9:00 PM, tonight for this week's edition of the Assistive Technology
Show!  Oh, one more thing, it wouldn't be fun to do a show on blogging without myself having a blog to share, so I've decided to start a new assistive
technology blog.  In my new blog, I'll be talking about the accessibility of hardware, software and of course web sites.  I'm hoping that it will be an
informative resource and the basis for discussions to come.

Tonight, on the Assistive Technology Show, we'll go on an Easter egg hunt -- a digital Easter egg hunt!  So, what the heck is a idgital Easter egg?  Often,
programmers add undocumented and hidden features to their programs that can be activated by entering a special code, or by doing something specific.  These
hidden features often add functionality to a program, are a program within a program, or do something that's just plain cool.  And of course, these hidden
aspects of a program are called Easter eggs.  Tonight, I'll demonstrate some Easter eggs found in common programs and show you how to access them.  So,
bring any Easter eggs you may know about, or questions you may have and come join me, between 7:00-9:00 PM, EST for tonight's edition of the Assistive
Technology Show!
