How to Collaborate at MAG 218--Collaborate!
New for 2006 is an option for MAG 218 buyers to blog. (And blogging, which refers to a web log, is simply an easy way to insert text and images into webpages directly onto the Internet.) The idea of the MAG 218--Collaborate! blog is to encourage a free-ranging and spontaneous discussion among buyers and prosepctive buyers (and other concnerned parties) about anything related to the MAG 218.
How it Works
It's a new year, so why not start something new! That's one reason. Another is that blogging is, well, fun--especially collaborative blogging. If you have something you share in common with others--in our case, the MAG 218--then it creates an avenue for interchange that can be both interesting and informative.
It differs from posting comments, which is an option on this and all the MAG 218 Community pages, in that it allows each person to start his or her own topic of discussion. Posts, however, are not organized by topic, rather by simple chronological date. Therefore it takes on the flow of a casual conversation rather than a structured discussion.
To get a better idea have a look at the UAE Community blog, where bloggers within and outside of the UAE exchange thoughts and info about the place they take a common interest in. Be careful, it might be hard to pull yourself away from it! These bloggers offer a wide and varied scope of views.
That's it. Hope you'll join.

How it Works
- You will need an email address. This is so that you may receive an invitation to join the MAG 218--Collaborate blog. You will also need your email address to complete the following step.
- You will need a user ID associated with a Blogger account--this enables you to login and post messages. If you already have a Blogger account you may use the ID associated with it or you may wish to create a new Blogger account. To create a Blogger account go to Blogger.com and follow the step-by-step instructions.
(Please note: When you create a Blogger account you will be guided through the process of creating a blog as well. If this is your first time and you are unsure what to blog about, just create a blog entitled "About Me" and in your first post (an initial post is required) write anything, briefly, about yourself, then click the publish button. In completing this step you will have created a blog on the Internet (to which you can freely post at any time), and you will at the same time have created a Blogger ID which allows you to publish posts to not only your own blog, but also any blog to which you are invited to collaborate on.) - Contact me the website manager, by email, upon which I will send an invitation to you to join the MAG 218 Collaborate! blog. After receiving the invitation reply as instructed. You will then be able to log in to your Blogger account and post directly to the MAG 218--Collaborate! blog.
