Before this class I didn't really know that much about blogs because that wasn't a major source for me. Now that I am in the class we had to be able to write our own blog post every other week. During this process I learned that there are different ways to write blogs and they are still relevant to today's news media. I also learned that they can be quite interesting when given a chance. My top three blogs just happen to go in sequential order; they are Blog Post#2, #3, and #4.
For my reflection over all of my blogs I would like to start with my first official real blog which is Blog Post #2, which is Why College? In this blog post the goal was to explain in detail why did I go to college. For me this was a question that I knew the answer to but I had never sat down and formulated a complete thought about how to explain everything. So for me this topic was interesting because it gave me the insight to put my priorities together and make sure I really knew what I was talking about. I remember doing this blog like it was yesterday; I remember this because I bought the topic home and made it personal and that's what I think was my strength. My weakness was not being able to develop things as well as the others; there was a whole bunch of words no separation, graphics or links.
After this blog we had to post about the reason for the generalization of college. The name of this blog was College...Why? It is basically saying, what is the point of college? In that I said that not everyone needs college but it is a good thing to have. My graph showed that people that have degrees have a generalization of making more money than others. I also talked about some successful people that made it without a degree. This was also one of the first times that we had to add links from websites and incorporate it with graphics. I think this blogs appearance was a lot better because it had the separation of paragraph that the other blog before that didn't have. My weakness was the way I incorporated my links into my blog, but again I was still learning the process of blogs.
I don't know if this is my proudest blog but it sure is one of my favorites. It reminded me of my high school days because it's one of those things that we would have debated in class. When I read it over it sounded like me talking. In It's Up to You I talk about whether or not college is enough. As you can see by the title I talked about how it really depends on the person and what he/she decides to do with what they are given. I think I liked this blog because I agreed with what I said, in which, one has to push forward in what they really want and not let anyone tell them what they can and cannot do because at the end of day it's up to you. My strengths that I've been told, is my originality and how it was different than everyone else's.
Overall in this course though I think I have learned a lot about blogging and will definitely look into them when doing research. I found out that blogs are actually interesting sometimes because it mixes facts with opinion and gives one the option to choose which side he/she wants to be on and I like that.

I liked how you said in your second paragraph how you really had to sit down and think about the topic. I had to do the same. Well written reflection post.
