This blog gives CAVIC members the possibility for discussion and participation, knowledge building and sharing ideas.
Planning the future Network Seminars, International Seminars and other CAVIC activities is one of the main purposes of this blog.
Blogging is not so formal so remember that any kind of informal discussions are very welcome! All kinds of research material (presentations, workshop incomes etc.) as well as photographs, greetings and evening reception plans are easily shared here.
Blog is like a material bank which can be reached from any place with internet connection.
By blogging you’ll avoid blocking your e-mail box and all the contact information is always available, nothing is lost in junk mail.

Some simple & helpful information about blogging
POSTING:
Information about blogging in general can easily be found from internet (google ”tips for blogging” etc.)
To post something to “cavicblog” you need to become contributor/administrator/editor/author.
Contact blog administrators via blog and ask for membership:

When posting something to a blog, always remember a few things:
- Remember to give an informative title for your post.
- Always use tags and categories! The more exact you are in tagging and categorizing your post the easier the posts can be found later on.
- Pay a little bit attention also in creating a category: do not make it too general – try to be specific enough. Or use already existing ones if they’re suitable!
- Remember that categories, unlike tags, can have a hierarchy. You might have a Jazz category, and under that have “children categories” for Bebop and Big Band. Use this possibility as often as possible.
- Put the right stuff into the right place 
Try to be organized.
- In any technical problems there is the WordPress support: http://en.support.wordpress.com/
COMMENTING:

RATING:
You may also rate posts – that’s mostly for fun, but can also be used to point out a significant issue.
Just go for it, learning by doing
If you need any help, you may use
primary the WordPress support: http://en.support.wordpress.com/
and on the secondary you may contact the administration of this blog: http://cavicblog.wordpress.com/contact/
WordPress has excellent support pages and in any technical difficulties they are the best and only way to find the solutions.
Several people have volunteered to administrate this blog. No one is paid for doing so
I have high hopes that everyone interested in participating CAVIC will also find the interest and motivation to participate blogging.
It is so simple and once you learn the basics – well, soon you’ll be addicted to blogging! It is easy, quick and fun – and isn’t research always about co-operation, networking etc …?
