Blog Discussion

For this class I think I will do a mix between the first and second blog. I think adding in photos and videos can enhance your readers interest and support your claims in a more comprehensive and creative way but they can be distracted if not well used. In this case, hyperlinks could also be used to support your ideas without causing chaos in your writing.

In my freetime I read things that are more along the lines of the second blog. I read blogs that are more focused on personal experiences, travels, and ideas. I lost interest in the other blogs we looked at because they were very specific to fields of studies I don't find intriguing. I loved the pictures that were created to go along with the story in the second blog so I would read something like that on a regular basis. In my blog I will probably use photos and/or videos to show support for my claims and hyperlinks to let the reader learn more about the source I used.

In most of the blogs the hyperlinks were used to support their data by taking you to the source but with the first one it was to bring you to something completely random. I clicked on the hyperlinks that were in the middle of something that I was interested in but would skip the ones in the middle of something boring.

I would not call myself a "bloger" but I do follow a lot of them on a regular basis and write my own as well. I started when I was backpacking through Europe and wanted an easy way to tell everyone of my travels and then just never stopped.

So here are mine and some of my friends unprofessional but fun blogs:

Also this one is good for random celebrity trash:

This last one is Stephanie Nielson, she and her husband were involved in a tragic plane crash, killing one man, and leaving her with 80% of her body burned, her husband with 30% of his body burned. She’s still in the midst of a long recovery process, in a lot of pain, and hardly recognizable from her former appearance. She writes pretty much every day and is an absolute inspiration!
