My Opinions on Blogging

I thought I would start off this selection of blogs with a blog about blogging! I know have some experience with blogging so I thought it would be appropriate to write about my feelings. I want to start off by say the word blog is in fact not a word according to my Microsoft word software and I am eager to see if this will change in the future. Overall I think blogging is a positive experience for everyone involved. It is basically a journal or diary of your opinions and views on subject matter. The only difference is that it is open for viewing and criticism from the outside world. It allows the writer to show their opinion in an open forum. I know blogging has been around for a number of years and many celebrities and athletes keep daily or weekly blogs for fans and the media. This has helped to popularize blogging to the everyday internet user. There are no limitations to blogs which makes it so free form and fun to write when you have something to say. You can communicate your ideas and feels to someone on the other side of the world. Blogs help to connect people will similar opinions and create bonds with people of similar views. Blogs are also good for personal reflection later on. A blogger can go back and reflect on the subject matter that they had written about months or year’s previously. It is also easy to access and hard to lose because there are essentially an infinite number of copies because it is stored in a database and is not a hard copy on paper.
