I only blog on blackboard. Does that count?

Kathy,
It definitely counts for you being a blogger!
There is a separate issue of openness, though. Is the place where you blog linkable? As in, can you give us the url for your latest post, for example? Because of your thoughtful comments in the course overall, especially the way you take care to reply to other participants, I would love to read your blog. Can I?
With some LMSs (learning management systems), courses within them are "walled gardens" that the world at large can't see. It can be, as programmers say, either a bug or a feature, depending on what you want to do!
Some people use the opportunity of their class blog assignments and make an open blog somewhere (Wordpress, Blogger) where they copy everything from their closed blog.
