Blogging

I have the worst attitude about writing and a lot of times it frustrates me. I admit to everyone that I am a terrible writer and so most of the time I just give up. I have tried a couple of times and I have noticed that my biggest thing is the way I phrase things. I also have learned that I write what I think instead of trying to make something smooth. With blogging in this class, it could be another huge opportunity for me to increase my writing skills.

I want to first start with doing a little research about blogging so I have a complete understanding what is expected. I read the syllabus and then read about blogging online on the emuonline.edu website. Blogging quantity seemed like an important item that should be highlighted and made sure everyone in the class realizes what is expected. We are expected to make at least 1 post a week and make 3 posts comments on other classmates.

With researching about blogs, I found out that there are many different types of blogs. Blogs are different based on the type of content. Also blogs are different in the way that content is delivered or written. I looked up the different types of blogs and this is what I came across:

· Personal Blogs

· Corporate and Organizational Blogs

· By Genre

· By media type

· By device

My goal is to have a positive attitude with blogging and really learn how to improve my writing. Thanks for reading my first blog.

Blogging

Alright so I was sitting here and thinking about what to right in this blog. I have heard of blogs but haven't really seen or have written one before. So I googled search th e meaning of blogging and what i got in return is wikipedia defintinon: and it states " is a blog is a type of website, usally maintained by an individual with regualar entries of commentary, description of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. Blog can also be used a verb, meaning to maintain or add a blog. (Wikepdia)

This clears up the meaning for me in that I know exaclty what the term of blogging means. And this should be interesting what will be written by people during the course of the semester. As it is open to many things we can write, discuss or comment about. While i was reading about blogs I noticed that there are different kinds of blogs such as personal blogs, corporate and organizational blogs. They can also be grouped together by genre, media type, and by device which I found interesting to read about.

So during the course of the semester we can technically do all these types of blogs. There were some interesting things about blogging history, origins, how it has transformed over the years, and legal and ethical issues that were also mentioned. So in this little research I have done I have learned something I never really knew about.
