My Blog

Photo

           When I created this blog, I was very lost. I've never used or created a blog. I had to reach out to my friends and my professor to understand it. The process of knowing how it worked made me feel dumb but at the same time good because I was learning new things. When I published my first post, I was so happy because I felt like I just did an achievement. The writing process in a blog feels different from a writing process in assignments. I like better to write on blogs because its more free and creative. Also, the images and gifs that you post, helps the reader understand what the author is saying. Some of the interesting aspects of the blog are the different instruments, aside words, that you can use to post a blog and the accessibility of posts. In the blog, I can use images and gifs related to my text to show a visual representation of what I'm talking about. Also, I can post links or videos so if the reader doesn't know what I'm talking about, he or she see them and get an idea of what happened or understand better the topic of the post. Another awesome aspect is how easy you can find or read more than one post from a blog. You don't have to close a page and then open another one to see different posts from the same blog because they all are on the same page. One of my most interesting posts is the one called “My Life in a Compass”. In this post, I talked about my experience doing an activity which involved describing my mood on a compass in which I ranked different aspects of myself (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual). I liked a lot this post because I had to do graphs that helped me understand which aspects in me are more affected. This post is like a study of myself and I consider it very interesting because it has graphs which let me proof what I’m saying. The difference between the journal and the blog is that in the blog I can erase and cross out if I made a mistake or if I would like to use another word. Another difference is that on the blog I have unlimited time to write it and, in the journal, the time was limited. Also, the journal was a private work, but the blog is something that people can see and comment about it. In conclusion, the blog it’s a conglomerate of all my ideas on one place. I really like doing posts and having a blog because it’s a place where I can say whatever I want even if people liked it or not. And if people liked it, I would know. I recommend that people who would like to be famous for their writings use a blog because it’s very accessible to the public and, if the readers liked the posts, he or she can become famous. If someday I want to write my opinion about a situation, like on the social networks, I'm going to write it on my blog because it’s more fun.
