The blogs are for New Tactics members to share their thoughts, reflections, or questions with the world. A "web log" or "blog" is an online journal or diary. Blogs are a very individualized form of communicating with others. Collectively, member blogs make up the New Tactics dialogues area.

One member might use her blog to share day-to-day events in the work of her human rights organization. Another member, a lawyer, might comment on current legal matters of interest. If you have something you would like to share with other human rights advocates and activists, this is the place to do it. Write in your own style. Share images if they seem helpful. It's a flexible format.

Other members can respond to your posts. Then you can respond to those responses.

Blogs are a way of starting a dialogue with people you haven't even met yet. You have no way of knowing what might touch another person.

Your blog is your own place to publish news, reflections, or other announcements 

Your blog is your own place to publish news, reflections, or other announcements that you wish to share with the rest of the community, as well as ask questions to start a dialogue. Readers may wish to post comments (to which you can reply as well), and a dialogue may continue. The dialogues area is simply a collection of these member blog posts.

Your biography is your personal page introducing yourself to the community. Readers may learn more about you by reading your blog and other entries you create on the website, but your biography is where you get to introduce yourself directly, including any extra information you want others to know about you. By entering your biography, you will be included in the member directory.
