My Experience Blogging

I feel like blogging was a good project for me. It sounds pretty easy but trust me it had its challenges. Like blogging everyday for over 20 days straight is tough, especially when your hanging with friends all day and your like “Dang I have to go blog” and then you have to leave your friends. Also the things to blog about, I didn’t want my blog to have retarded posts like “I feel asleep then woke up 12 hours later”. I needed to make my blog interesting so people can actually read it and like it. For a person like me on a weekend I would never go work on a project everyday of the weekends. This helped me study wise and grade wise. Also managing a blog, changing the look of it was actually pretty fun. Changing the background colors and adding that picture of the dog winking at you helped the blog out too. Making my blog interesting was one of the hardest parts so I added 3 pages on my blog. First page was just my blog in general where you can see all of my posts. Second one was for my pictures that I edited on Aviary. I just didn’t want my blog to be boring so I played around on Aviary image editor and I edited 5 photos that I have to say were pretty good. My dragon photo was the coolest. Third, since I didn’t blog for two day I had the idea of making a chart of how many days I blogged and then at the end of the blogging experience add up the total days I blogged and get a percentage on how many days I blogged. I can’t really say I had allot of success on my blog, it wasn’t the popular blog but I had over a 100 people look on my blog and for me that’s really good. I feel like this blog barely help me emotionally, I didn’t reflect my life on this blog thankfully but I tried to blog about stuff I liked and after reading the posts I wrote I liked the thing a little bit more. I feel like people who have emotional troubles would think blogging would help them out, because people would have to hear what they would say. Also it helps people talk about the problems she has. I seen some blogs where people totally dump there whole life on a blog post and talk about problems so I’ll have to say blogging can help people emotionally troubled. Was blogging a waste of my Time? Yes and no, I’m 50/50. Yes: because there were times where I had to leave my friends and blog, the worst time was at 2 am where I remembered I needed to blog so I got up and left my friend matt just to do a 20 min blog post at 2 am. Also it’s one of those things that need to be on the top of your mind or you just forget about it. Also making the two pages where hard because I did 2 photos at home because I needed to fill up the Aviary page and making that graph took me forever because I would always either too many boxes or not enough boxes on my box graph. So it took some time out of my weekend but in the end it was worth. No: because it taught me responsibility of remembering to do a project. Even though there were times I wouldn’t want to blog I knew I needed to. It also helped me figure out how to manage my own blog so in the future if I make a website then I can use my blogging experience to make my website like making changes everyday to benefit the website. I’m not going to lie but there were times where I was at home and I would spend an hour on this blog. It’s kind of like a video game once you start playing it reels you back to play more. Once you mess around on a blog you want to mess around on the blog more and more. I spent a decent 4 hours on this blog when I was at home so I actually wanted it to be good. Also when I was bored I’m like “Hey I can edit my blog”. I know this sounds weird but I swear on my life I went on my blog a lot when I was home. Also blogging about stuff I like was enjoying too. So blogging was a good project for me, it had its hard times; it had its good times. But in the end I made a blog that I’m proud and that’s all what matters.
