Texas State is providing a forum for student bloggers. Kate Gisi has more in
this Bobcat Update.

The Texas State Twitter page recently posted a list of blogs written by students
and faculty. The university is urging students to express themselves. Just
last week a Facebook message was sent to students urging them to post links to
their blogs. It was a message that was well received.

It's even considered a news source. It seems these days, everyone has
something to say. So, Texas State wants to know what you're writing about. For
