Blogging allows for individuals to openly
express themselves whether it’s under their real name or alias. Blogging is for
professionalism, creativity, personal interests, information or anything as
people can freely state their opinion on these topics. Blogging allows for
people to be more honest as they feel they won’t be judged for what they say.

Blogging allows for people to be more open about
their opinions either as themselves or under an alias name. People can share
anything they want with whomever they want. Individuals can use it as a way to
vent or to have fun. It is anything you want it to be and that’s why so many
people use them today.

The thing I found most interesting was
customizing my blog. I liked that we can pick the background and put widgets on
our blog that display who we are. It was fun to try and find the perfect
template to show what we like.

I thought the most challenging thing was
figuring out how to display everything how you want it. I had troubles
downloading different templates and getting them to fit on my blog. Everyone I downloaded
had some kind of issue with it either it took away links I needed to get to the
home site or it had additional things on it that did not need to be there for
me.

I think a blog improves communication by letting
people speak their mind. They can be more honest and communicate with people
that have the same interests. I also think there are disadvantages to blogs as
they are distancing us from offline communication. More and more people are
losing their face to face communication skills as we develop new technologies.

I don’t think blogging is something I would be
really into unless I had a blog about a personal hobby. I just am not into
sharing everything I do on the internet. I know there are ways to make it
private, but it just seems like there is always a loop in people finding you on
the internet. I really liked making my blog with my own design, but I’m just
not that into posting a lot of personal information.
I too found the templates part frustrating. I'm still adjusting everything on my blog's layout. Like you, I'm not too into sharing everything on the internet. I don't really feel the need to share with literally everyone in the world. It is a little too creepy for me.
ReplyDeleteYeah I still haven't figured out everything with the templates or widgets and I hate sharing to much about myself online just cause its so easy for people to find if they really want too. I agree that face to face communication is becoming less and less used in society today sadly and I think face to face communication is the most important way of developing relationships with others.
