Blogging, what is this exactly? Why is it any different from sending a text message to some one you want to talk to? After watching the video eLearning Bloggers’ Masterclass – Finding your voice for your blog through writing (Kidspot, 2014), I realized the difference. A blog is about what you are thinking about today and is really not directed at any person in general. It is what is on your mind as long as you don’t overthink what your write and you tell the truth then the Blog is successful.
I found an article that tells you simply Your blog Posts are Boring: 9 tips for making your writing more interesting (Patel, 2017). What I noticed was to write in a blog format you are supposed to write in the first person. Funny since all college work is written in the third person.
An assignment was given to review the online identities of two people and analyze them. The two people I chose were very professional in every social avenue I looked at. No inappropriate comments or pictures. This made me think about how I would like to reflect myself within my PLE. If Blogging is sending a message to anyone who reads it then how do I want to be perceived as an individual who writes in a Blog. Interesting question to be reviewed.
