After another quarter of the school year has passed, it is time to take another look at the progress of my blogs. First, I would like to mention that I have not been blogging regularly, and I am disappointed in myself for doing so. I understand now that I should blog even if I don't have anything controversial to talk about. Blogging is a chance for me to improve my writing skills, and that will not happen if I choose not to blog. However, this wouldn't be much of an analysis if I never dissected the few posts I did make.
Despite the lack of posts, I believe that my latest blogs have greatly improved from the ones from the first quarter. With each post, I took a lot of time to create a stance on an issue, back it up with evidence from class or from my own experiences, then leave it up to the reader to take their own stance. In addition, I believe that my posts have become more "reader friendly". I have learned to emphasize the points I want readers to see by making the text bold, underlined, and enlarged. It is a lot easier to read a post that is visually appealing than just forty straight lines of words. The best example showing improvement in these two areas is in my latest blog, Mous, Anon Y. However, my blogs have not been perfect. A lot of the time when I blog, I have a lot of different ideas that I want to explain in one post. I will mention one thing then skip to another. What I need to work on the most is organizing my posts so that I take a cleat stance and I don't confuse the reader.
Now that this quarter is drawing to an end, I am going to make a vow. My mission is to blog AT LEAST the minimum requirement, and to make sure each of those posts are made with care and accuracy. I am looking forward to my future blogs and the progress I will make. To sum up my words with more expertise and enthusiasm, TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!
