What makes a blog a blog?
A blog is a blog because it possesses certain characteristics. These characteristics include but are not limited to the following: it possesses a voice, it is concise, it draws the reader in and it informs the reader.
What is your favorite thing about blogging?
My favorite part of blogging is the voice that it gives you. Not only does it give you the opportunity to put your knowledge and sometimes opinion into words but it lets you share it with an almost infinite amount of people. Blogs give you a place where millions of people can read your work and become informed and hopefully interested. I hope that through blogs my voice will become inspiration to at least one person.
What’s most challenging about blogging for you?
For me personally the most challenging part of blogging is deciding what to write about. There are so many topics and so many questions that have to be answered before you find the right topic. First you have ask yourself what interests you. If you aren’t interested in the subject your writing is going to portray that and your audience will be uninterested. Then you need to think about whether anyone will be interested in your post. Part of blogging is sharing it with the world and people aren’t going to read you blog simply because you wrote it. The final part that makes writing a blog hard is making sure that there is enough information out there to write an adequate blog. The last thing you want to do is seem full of hot air and not creditable.

I think if you try to put some personal experience or some examples into your writing, it will make the blog alot more interesting. Otherwise I think you did really good with word choice and other things like that.
ReplyDeleteHi my name is Barbara a classmate from ARCC. I think enough information is crucial to any good reporting skills. Hopefully we will be grounded with information for our blogs. Good luck on blogging.
ReplyDeleteI agree Erica. I think that what really can make a blog stand out and make a blog as benificial as possible it does need to have some sort of a personal touch.
ReplyDeleteThe combination of the very suggestive and somewhat mysterious photo at the top of your blog and the blog itself really drew me in. Together, they constituted a very striking voice -- which, as you observe, is a key to a compelling blog. Keep on this track.
ReplyDeleteI like what you have to say about influencing people. Not only that but how your blogs are out there for all to see.
