The blog post that I think was my best work was one of the rhetoric ones that we wrote where I analyzed a picture advertisement from the 1950s. I thought I did a good job with this one because I spent a lot of time analyzing all the aspects of the photo so it was easy to come up with enough substantial information for the post. I brainstormed rather than just throwing something together, which I feel makes any paper better. I also enjoyed writing that one and anything I enjoy writing about turns out better than something I think is boring.
There were a few blog posts that I believe I could have done a better job on. This was mostly due to the fact that I could have spent more time on them to analyze what I was writing about more. The ones I had no opinions on like the “Stereotypical News Article” one, I feel turned out worse.
Over the semester, I learned a lot about the way I write through the blog post. It was interesting to see which ones I found easy to write because I had a lot of ideas on the topic. I didn’t like the idea of blogging at first, which I think much of the class didn’t, but after a while it was a routine type thing that I learned to enjoy. I think the blog posts help me to develop as a writer in general because I could freely write so it helped me learn to flow better in my writing. Knowing how to blog is a useful tool and I’m sure it has potential to be used in the future.
Writing publically made me nervous at first. Knowing that anyone can be reading what you write really makes you think about what you put down before you write it. This experience has made me more comfortable with people reading my writing because before it made me nervous for people to read my papers, even for peer editing. I enjoyed the blogging experience and what has done for me as a writer.
