My siblings sometimes used
to call me a caveman, but I just considered myself somewhat self-reserved. It probably
seems strange that I don’t have Facebook, Twitter, or any of the other social
networking websites that most people my age use regularly. I had heard of blogs
before but I was not sure how they worked or what they consisted of, and when I
discovered that I was going to be required to have one I immediately began to
panic. I felt as if I were a teenager who still needed to be potty trained. The
thought that followed was “how in the world am I going to pull this off?!”.
I’ve never been comfortable
with sharing my written thoughts and opinions thus revealing part of the reason
why I was not actively involved on the web. The first initiative I took was
exploring other peoples blogs. I tried to get an idea of what I was going to
have to accomplish on my blog while at the same time deciding how I wanted it
to be presented. Tagan’s Kitchen was my favorite of the three blogs I was instructed
to look at because it included plenty of pictures and also shared enjoyable recounts
of her personal experiences with each food. However, some blogs I came across weren’t
as pleasing. Productive Flourishing gave good advice and was easy to relate to
but unfortunately there were no pictures and it was set up in a confusing way
which required searching for the posts. Something I noticed was how easy it is
to become bored or disinterested in a blog. This leads me to Rebecca’s Pocket
which to me wasn’t at all intriguing and was hard to understand due to the fact
that posts weren’t labeled, topics were random, and there was no elaboration on
her opinions.
After becoming familiar
with the different options for blogs I decided I want mine to be simple. I hope
that readers can connect with and understand the matters that might make their
way onto my blog and also manage to stay interested while doing so. In the future I
aspire to progress as a blogger by continuing to learn from others and also from my own mistakes.
