Blogging’s Effect On The Brain
In a study in 2005 from two doctors, Fernette Eide M.D. and Brock Eide M.D M.A of Eide Nuerolearning Blog, they concluded that blogging is good for the brain. In summary, here are their findings:
1. Blogs can promote critical and analytical thinking
2. Blogging can be a powerful promoter of creative, intuitive, and associational thinking
3. Blogs promote analogical thinking
4. Blogging is a powerful medium for increasing access and exposure to quality information
5. Blogging combines the best of solitary reflection and social interaction

Take note that the article was first released in 2005. We are now in 2008 and the blogging phenomenon is even on greater heights. How many have become superstars because of this blogging thing? How many got rich? How many have become instant analysts/journalists/critic (economic, political, or sports)? How many movies/books/plays/artworks have been reviewed (or even spoiled)? How many have found their selves because of this new level of social interaction? How many have discovered it easier to access fresh and quality information in the internet? Spread before our very eyes rich ideas and information not often found in the four corners of our classrooms and work stations.
If you have not done some brain exercises lately and just contented yourself with the routines of work, home, eat and sleep, you may try blogging instead. A lot of people blog these days, even the famous and the notorious personalities.

Hey! Congratulations on the new blog.
I like the color, very pleasing to the eyes. Have you tried opening your site using Internet Explorer? There’s something wrong with the header. IE sucks, but you know, some folks still use that browser.
Cheers!
