My Blogging Experience

I personally had a lot of fun with this project. It really opened my eyes to the world of online blogging. Although I was a first time blogger, I found it to be very easy to get started.

Doing the research for this project was such an amazing learning tool. Had we not done this project I don’t think I would be knowledgeable about this topic at all. I really enjoyed the last module where we researched information blogs vs vanity blogs. I found it so interested especially looking at the vanity blogs and what people had to say. But I learned the most when we had to research blogs for businesses. Among all of the careers I see myself having, I do hope to own my own clothing boutique someday. This particular post helped me get ideas for a business blog of my own for the future.

Because this is an online class I do feel that any hands on experience we can get is very beneficial. I think this project really engaged us in the subject of blogs and journalism.

In the end I stick by my original thesis that blogging has significantly impacted the print journalism of today. With all of the research I have done, I would give it a 5 saying that it strongly supported my thesis.
