Having to create a blog and write on it twice a week has not been as miserable for me as I think it has been for other individuals in the class. I actually enjoy writing on my blog as well as reading others. It is an avenue for me to write about what I want (within the bounds of a prompt if Mac gives us one) and express my opinions in a much more creative way than in a typical hard news article. Also, with technology advancing as it is, blogging opens up a world of opportunity for the post. Bloggers can post links, pictures, videos, comics, and any other additive to their article to make it even more appealing and interactive for a reader. And there is the other part of blogging I like; reading! I am a food junkie so within the last year I have looked at so many food blogs it is unreal! But I also find that I am interested in other types of blogs as well; informational, sports, health, and even personal blogs written by perfect strangers! Blogs are a way to enter another individual's mind and view the world or whatever they are writing about from their perspective. I am thankful that we are including blogging and the technological aspect of journalism into our class and I hope my peers appreciate the assignment as much as I do.
Here is a link of an example of one of the many food blogs I look at!!
Be warned...you may become addicted like me!
