Wrapping it up

Before I took this class, I had another class that required me to create a blog. I was not the biggest fan. I had a hard time figuring out how to get my words out or how I wanted my content to look like. When I found out that I had to create another blog for this class, I was not excited. I didn’t have the best experience in the past so i automatically assumed this time wasn’t going to be any different. 

When I first started blogging, I wanted to learn what content my audience wanted to see and what drew attention to my page. I also wanted to learn how to put my words together so that I could put out my message in a clear and attention grabbing way. I didn’t want to bore my audience at all so I wanted to learn the secrets to a fun welcoming page. 

While I was blogging, I found out that you have to be patient with your thinking process of creating a post. You can’t rush the piece or you’re just going to spew out a bunch of information that your audience can just get from the internet. Blogs are supposed to be a place people can go to, to connect and relate with the information. 

I also learned that ideas wont come easy. It’s okay to find inspiration and to browse other creator’s blogs to figure out what direction you want to go. Of course you don’t want to get caught up in someone else’s idea and plagiarism but it’s okay to be influenced by others. 

Now that I am blogging regularly, I want to learn how to post my content in different ways. I don’t want to only post a bunch of words. Maybe I can figure out how to post lists or incorporate pictures in my posts.
