Blogging Experience

Well, I have not really learned very much from blogging this quarter. This is because I currently have 6 blogs (across different sites) that I maintain and regulate. Having this background with blogs, I can personally tell all of you that all blogs are not like blogger. I am letting all of you see my Tumblr blog. This is a very informal blog that I frequently am on. I do not post too often on this though. When I do post something that is original, I am expressing a more poetic side of me. This sometimes will reflect how I am feeling, but has no relevance to my overall life. I follow a few of my friends on it and mostly will browse photos on this site. Many different blogs on this site have some "inappropriate" images though. I also have another blogger account that I use for communicating with many of my gaming friends. I do not wish to enclose this hyperlink because there are some pretty nasty comments on there about and from me. Some people (including myself) will get very involved in a video game and take it very personally.

The one thing I have learned through doing this, is how to use a blog for business purposes. This is my only blog that I have used for research and educational discussion. I do not see many of you keeping your blogs or keeping them up to date, but I would actually advise you to do this and to post something once a week about what you learned about your career path. This will build a small reputation (if it kept professional) and also be useful to other people that may be researching a topic included within your blog. This is why (or at least why I believe) that Mrs. Dalley had us go and research professional blogs. You can also use another professional blog (with a reputation) to give you pointers or advice on what you are posting about. This will also help build that small reputation I was talking about. If you are really proud of your professional blog, you may even use it as a resource to make yourself stand out to potential employers. Many of you will not see this and probably think I am nuts, but a professional blog may provide an employer with the knowledge of knowing how much you are capable of and what you are already comfortable with in your field of study. I will probably keep this blog up to date, but I may change the address of this blog (and of course notify my followers on a post) for professional purposes.

I hope that many of you have learned many things in this class and will do great in your future,
