I have definitely benefited from writing blogs. It’s nothing like a journal but in some ways it is. My classmates and even others can view my blogs so every time I post one up I double check just in case there are any grammar errors or anything that doesn’t make sense at all. Through my experience I learned that viewing others blogs and comparing them to mine I’ve gotten better in my writing. There are many that are strong writers and every time they post their blog up I can’t help but just look and see how they made their point across. At first I wasn’t too sure about these blogs because I was sort of shy if anyone else read my writing but now I think I’m pretty confident when it comes to writing them online for public views. Journals are for yourself and your professor to view. No one else can comment or give their opinion about your writing but on blogger.com they could in an instant. I guess that’s what frightened me at first. When someone comments on any of the posts you have put up, they aren’t trying to offend you in any way. All they are trying to do is help improve your writing and give you feedback on what they think you should fix and I think that is the greatest benefit in using blogger. As I grow as a writer so do my blogs. I can view my old blogs and compare them to my new ones. I see my improvement and so do others.
Millions of people have a blog of their own and you can defiantly see everyone’s thoughts and see what type of person they are. With one simple blog people can tell what kind of personality you have. Not all are advantages I might say, there are disadvantages as well. Many people find the NEED to post up an unnecessary comments that might get someone else feeling uncomfortable in any way. You have to be ready for those types of comments posted up by idiots. If someone is the type of person to be extremely shy and not want anyone else viewing or giving feedback at all then sadly blogger isn’t for you. I personally find blogger to be helpful and I kind of enjoy it at times. I see the thoughts of myself and people I know in class posted up and I find it fun to read their blogs and improve mine. Sadly I think I wouldn’t have used blogger if it weren’t for this class but I’m glad I took this class and experienced using blogger.
