1 - Because of my inexperience in this field, I learned to use a blog for the first time, how it is born and grows.
2 - I have seen the importance of the tags if you want your blog more easily identifiable on the web.
3 - On the other hand, I've realized the value given by the links within each post. With them you can sum up things that would cost you more space to explain and directly links the reader to a page that will explain in detail what you do not have time or space to specify.
4 - Links to other pages that we put next to the post are effective because when you link, the others see that you have linked and then they know you easier.
5 - I've noticed that a good title is important in this world of blogs and web. A striking headline draws the reader's attention and web sites like Google that can put us in a good situation. and also make tags.
6 - In the wake of this last practice I learned what a podcast and videoblog that while it is true that the names sounded me, I never figure out what they really were.
7 - I have noticed that a blog is a great tool of expression. At other times, there were not this possibility and could only express their ideas big companies and institutions. Today, thanks to the Internet and blogs, thousands of people around the world can express ideas that would otherwise never have been able. This makes each person, however small, has a voice in many cases,important. This is the great importance that provides a blog.
8 - I found that people, being saturated with so much information, quickly find a good title and few lyrics, especially videos and pictures that can summarize what you think write with words. For this I discovered that the image and video are very important and, realizing this, I had to learn to upload them to the blog. Really helpful.
9 - On the other hand, a blog with a few unreliable sources becomes a blog that has no credibility, and this for someone who is dedicated to communication is fateful. I found this following to look for credible sources and put them under each post, because you should not put things that others have said without mentioning. Is mutual respect between sources.
10 - In conclusion, it should be clear that it is very important to link to other blogs that are commensurate with our theme. Among all contribute to the better education of the reader who looks this information from us.

Analysis of Podcasts and Videoblogs
Researching podcasts about international students on the web I have found: First of all universia has different podcasts in relation to international issues, there I founded: "Podcast: Australia y Nueva Zelanda abren sus puertas a estudiantes chilenos". In this podcast are given clues as Chilean students can exchange with countries like Australia and New Zealand. There is talk that they had previously given advice on how to do these studies in the USA. Then remember that thanks to the performance of the Chilean government has made agreements with these two countries can realize their studies. It is a podcast aimed at the Chilean people and tells them the possibility to go abroad to continue their studies. It is an informative podcast.
Secondly, I investigated a podcast from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, "KU Leuven podcast for new international students." It includes different podcasts aimed at new college students. Offer more information about this, information about the city and what to do when you get there: where you stay, what to do when you get to the airport and this kind of useful things when you get to a foreign city.Referring to have found an interesting video blog video gallery Macquarie University in Sydney, in this page we can see a video in particular is a videoblog. This is a guy named James Craig who introduces us to the university, giving it the characteristics of both night and day, their culture, ceremonies, etc. and he tells us a little bit how is his life there.
The second video blog that I found was of the University of Navarra. This video blog was not of one particular person, but it was a video in which different students from different countries, why they had decided to come to this university. They also talk about their experiences here and how is the campus and life at this university.

Francisco Hinojosa is a Mexican student in Pamplona. He is 20 years old and he was studying international relations at Mexico's DF top university ITAM.
We were talking the other day about his experience and why he decided to study in UNAV. He knew this university by former UNAV teacher Jose Carreño.
He told me that in march he had decided to study journalism and leave his career. He had some countries in mind as a possibility to study like England, Australia and Spain specifically Navarra.
He had been in Spain a lot of times in different cities like Barcelona, Madrid, Cadiz, Sevilla...
In his University he was the sports editor, so when he decided to leave his studies he choose telling his parentes writting a columm in the university magazine.
His parents were surprised, so he started to take care of the things he needed to go to Navarra to study journalism. He looked on the review of university entrance. He prepared selectividad with the help of his best friend aunt, who specializes on preparing admission exams.
Actually in Pamplona he lives in "Belagua" Torre II, he actually did his Belagua interview through Skype.
Before coming he said goodbye to his family and his friends, it was very emotional because until Christmas he will not see them.
When he arrived to Pamplona the 26 of August he didn't know anyone so he visited the campus and he went to see his new house, but everything was closed.
Paco wants to engage in corporate communication when he finishes the degree. He also wants to do a master's degree in corporate communication and politics in Pamplona or London. He would like to be the press director of the NFL (National Football Leage)
He loves Miami Dolphins.
He is a very sportsman he sais " Give a ball and I'm happy".
The Pumas, team of Mexico City, invited him to join them, but he couldn't because he had to leave school and he had problems with one knee, so he decided leave soccer for a while.
