Blogging Experience

My Blogging experience has been pretty great! I plan to keep this blog after the class is over so I will have a way to show my family pictures of Hugo and tells funny little stories.  The whole purpose will be entertainment for me, and those who read my blog.  It is amazing how people become obsessed with such simple things, such as Boston Terriers.  I’m hoping to find more Boston Terrier blogs for Hugo to interact with.

Before this class I had read blogs before (ones that were linked to Pinterest), but I didn’t realize that I had blogging experience until after I read the Wikipedia site about Blogs and remembered my old LiveJournal account!  It was really funny going back to read my old posts from elementary school.  I was a weird kid.  I guess I still am.  Overall, this experience has helped me understand who I am and what I want out of the Internet. 

I also learned that people could make money from blogs!  I did not know that, and I think I might start getting into that if I can.  I like all of the tips that were given in the module, as well as the examples.  They were very inspirational.

My only dislike is that I don’t feel like I have control over exactly how the blog and posts look. It seems as if I started with this basic HTML that I had complete control over, yet was bare, to a WYSIWYG website that I had less control over, but more visual interest, to this blog which I have the least control over, yet the most visual interest.  I am still working on making it look the way that I want it to look, and using WYSIWYG and HTML together will really help me find a successful medium in my future.
