“The time has come” the walrus said, “to talk of many things.”
It is time to talk about blogging. All my life I never really thought much about blogging. All I knew was that people who had too much time doing nothing liked to write about doing nothing on the internet so that all the other people doing nothing could read it. Then the movie “Julie and Julia” came out and I realized that sometimes people blog to talk of things that they like or that are important to them. Though it wasn’t exactly my idea to start a blog, it has been interesting thinking of things that I want to write about. The only problem is that there are things that I cannot write because I know people will be seeing them. A blog is not a personal thing, but some people put their deepest darkest secrets onto public internet sites. I need to remind myself that there are ways to conceal ones identity when writing, but personally I don’t want the world knowing my every thought.
I have been told by countless people to write every day. Some say that I don’t need to write about my day detail for detail but as long as I write at least a sentence I’ll be better off. Blogging is different than keeping a journal or a diary. Some people can write every day, but I can’t. I probably could find time to write 200 word posts each day, but at the moment I am more concerned with sleep. Blogging to me is not an everyday thing. I will try and do it if there is something exciting going on, but even then it doesn’t work out so well. It seems like when something exciting does happen, I will be out there telling people about it in person, rather than to a computer screen. Nevertheless when I do get down to blogging, I can usually pull something together. I have tried countless times to start a journal, but none of them have more than a month worth of entries. Maybe for this reason blogs are a better solution.
One good thing about blogs is that you can never lose them.
One bad thing is that you can’t wright unless internet or a computer is present.
Good thing: Very easy to post.
Bad thing: Not easy to personalize too much.
Good thing: The blogs display can be whatever way I like it to be.
Bad thing: Typos.
Good thing: Spell check.
It seems that blogging has ups and down, but then again everything does. And I must admit that my blogging has turned out much more successful than my journal writing.
