Prior to this class, I had terrible blogging experiences. My ex roommate, lets call her “Ashley”, used her blog to exploit those she was involved with. Ashley used her blog as a place to seek revenge on everyone in her life and I often served as her proofreader.
Bad Kayla.
Needless to say I entered this blogging assignment with a great deal of hesitation. After the first few posts all this hesitation had melted away. People I barely knew and had never met both opened up and were sharing new and interesting things with me. Once I truly got into the swing of the blogs, it was cake. My living situation at the beginning of the class made it rather difficult to get the blogs done consistently because didn’t have one at home, but I made the necessary arrangements and was able to get my blogs done on time. The comments were a little more difficult simply because I would forget to do them and would miss the due date. And those points always add up. Bummer!
I don’t know if ill keep my blog going. It does require a rather large amount of commitment and if I wind up with followers outside of the class ill feel guilty if I fall behind and stop posting all together. It was nice for this time to be able to say, yea I’ve blogged, but I think its going to stop there for me. I have come across a few blogs that I follow, and I may continue to do just that.
