My First Blog!

As I am writing this, I cannot believe that I am actually writing a blog. I always thought that a blog was something for a computer programmer or someone who works at Microsoft to use instead of email, but it seems that blogging is for everyone. It was fairly simple to make the blog, just follow the directions in the wizard set up to help you create the blog, then blog away! After creating the blog, I decided to explore the different features affiliated with Blogger and was amazed to see how you can set your blog to be translated in different languages, add links, use a search engine for last minute ideas/research, and allow the whole world to see what you are thinking about a certain subject or topic in general. This really changed my view of what a blog is and how useful it can be. Blogging in a way is like having a public diary, people can write about different events that occurred throughout their day and whatever they have on their minds. Creating a blog in my opinion, is so much easier than Facebook and MySpace; there are however pros and cons for both. With blogging you have the option of showing everyone in the world what you want them to know without any restrictions; Facebook and MySpace have privacy options in place in order to block you and your content from people you don't want reading your information. With blogging, you get to express your feelings and ideas in a written sense so everyone can read what you are trying to say. Furthermore, you have to reread and revise your blog to make sure that there aren't any mistakes because if there are any and you have them published, everyone will see them and can point them out in front of everyone who reads the blog. Well, I think that covers most of my thoughts, until the next one!
