Before I set up this blog (weblog) I checked out a few other commonly used blog sites like Wordpress.com and VOX.com and settled on BLOGGER because of the ease of use and professional look of the results, also I already had a Google account for a quick start.
I wanted to link the Digital Information Technology & Architectures (DITA) studies with the GIS studies which are the focus of the MSc and have a little fun by mixing in my photography hobby. The title of this course says it all - it's about the technologies and appropriate information architectures to support usable digital information capture, storage, analysis and retrieval.
The BLOGGER interface for setting up a blog is extremely intuitive and resulted in a basic blog presence on the web within 30 minutes using one of the selectable blog styles. Easy use editors allow the layout of sections and the text, images and links within sections, to be edited with a MS WORD style edit box for text. A large range of "gadgets" can be selected and dropped into placeholders on the layout customisation page and they allow facilities such as: links, blogs followed, news feeds etc to be added.
The aim of GeoTagImageSE is to act as a hub of information on the subject of geotagged photography and to record experiences of using DITA hands on. The structure supports blog posts, links, related blogs and a description of the context and blogger personal background.
