Because the project covers all the basic techniques, you’ll be able to use what you learn to create all sorts of other blogs--perhaps to begin an online newspaper, showcase a frequently updated photography portfolio, or work on a team project using a blog both as a communication tool and also for archiving the team’s progress.
