Summarise the content of class work here. If you are the sole author - ask your students to respond to the post by using the comment function at the bottom. Students can interact through the comment function. Students can be authors - think this through before you allow them to do this. If they are authors then the structure of the blog (which I see as a narrative or journal) can become disjointed and the focus of learning (which you will control as sole author) might get lost in an array of random posts. Another option would be to encourage each student to set up their own blog. So there will be a class blog (your one) and each student's individual blog. Just a thought.
You can add links, pictures, and youtube videos in these posts - but you can't upload documents. Again, think about this before embarking on a blog. A blog, I feel, has a very particular purpose - it provides a commentary on learning with one group as it evolves over a year. It is not a repository for lots and lots of curricular content (word documents, powerpoints etc). If that is what you are looking for then you'd be better off with the college's VLE, a wiki or a google site.
