While I am sure I read some blogs here and there, I am not an avid blog reader or "blogger". A part of me feels like so many people, especially Stay At Home Mom's, have a blog about everything from how to potty train to how to only feed your kids organic food. I feel like I won't be saying anything that many moms, or people, have not said before so I have not bothered to start one.
I found many things in this weeks readings interesting, especially since my knowledge of blogs is quite small.
The reading mentioned the different thoughts that people can have about bloggers and whether they are or are not journalists. It seems to me, from the reading as well as small pieces I've picked up here and there, that blogging and journalism are merging more and more as technology takes a leading role.
Another piece of the reading I found very interesting was the piece on how to write a paragraph. I found it especially interesting that, when reading the article, when I got to the part about four paragraphs, all the same length, my brain immediately did not like it as much as differently structured paragraphs earlier on in the reading.
I also did not know how many sites were out there for blogging. It seems so helpful to have templates to set up a blog, and so many which offer free versions that are easy to use and helpful for a beginner.
I think that blogging will be good practice in writing for an audience (however small that audience may be) as well as just getting words out there in a more casual way.
