This imagine of my younger self perfectly describes my blogging experience because at times i was unsure and felt small in the vast world of the internet, but as I kept writing and posting blogs things got easier as my experience grew. Tools that I found most effective were the “add media” icon on the WordPress website, it helped inset images and slideshows to my blogs. Another difference maker on WordPress is how you can hyperlink text to provide the reader with content that supports your blog and helps the reader gain context.
Youtube.com gave me many options while writing my blogs, I felt whatever topic I was writing on, if I needed a link to support my text I could just hyperlink and have the new link open in a new tab and I think that is awesome.
What I wish I could improve on my blogs is the time I spend writing my posts, if my parents paid for everything and money was never a concern of mine, the quantity of my words and quality of my work would be fantastic, but pressed for time and money the blogs became a secondary concern of mine and I wish I could’ve spent more time making everything perfect.
The blog has benefited me giving me writing experience and exposure on Twitter as a writer, and I could use the type of creative thinking required in these blogs for some sort of career in writing later on down the line if I can find a job that will pay me to write.
Speaking statistically, my second post had the most views at 15. The post probably got the most views because the trailer in the link attached is great and I gave a solid intro to the show. I think my work got better after my second post, but an error posting my following blogs derailed my chance for people to view following blog posts on time.
Overall, its been a long semester but it has gone by quick. From my first blog to now I feel like a completely different person, but I’ve learned many things along the way and am grateful to have a class that let me write on one of my interests.
