assigned entry #6 - Is blogging worth it?

In my personal opinion, blogging is a very good way for people to get their ideas out on to the world wide web. When people all across the world begin a blog, their point is to either share a personal enjoyment, or even inform the followers of the blog. There are personal blogs, and there are professional blogs. There are also blogs assigned to you for college projects... (hint hint;this blog), however no matter what kind of blog you're writing, there is always a certain group of people who you are trying to entertain. These people are called your audience.
In my opinion, i liked blogging, however the only thing i would change about the project would be to make it a more personal blog. The personal blogs are more fun to write because you can literally write them about anything. Everything from food to cars and soccer. I don't think i took this blogging project all that serious, but if English was my only class to take, then i would have wound up taking it much more seriously. Blogs are honestly alot of hard work to keep up and maintain! One thing I did learn from the blogging project was that people from all over the world are interested in blogging, and it's really interesting when you see that people from other countries are actually following your blog. I personally had someone from South Korea follow me, and I was like, "whaaaaaaat?!". I do believe that this wasn't necessarily useful for the class, however it definitely was something different, and something that was totally worth doing. Now I can say that I am a blogger! Chris, if there was anything to change about this blogging project, it would be to make it a personal project. I believe if you only had assigned entry dates with any topic by the choice of the blogger; it would motivate us to do the blogs on time and more often! However I'm really glad i learned how to blog, it was something worth learning!!

  1. Iain--I am glad you enjoyed the blog project and found some value in it. You have some good content, but it is a little brief. I was hoping to get more specific and in-depth discussion of your experience with blogging. Thanks for the feedback.
