what's a blog?

1b) Before this class, I have never made or ever really knew what a blog was. The only blog that I ever heard was of a social network sight called Tumblr. After some research, I found out that a blog can be a personal website or a webpage where individuals can state their opinions or share pictures and so forth. Also, you can read and comment on other bloggers post, and communicate to others through such means. As I furthered my research onto other websites, I have noticed people tend to use it as almost an online person diary. One thing that I did not like about some of the blogging sites was how they were all open to the public. Personally, I would not want to tell my life story for other people to read and comment on. On the other hand, I like the fact that people are free to talk about any topics that they desire. For my blog, I would like it to be a personal account where I can interact with other freshman who are also attending Southern Connecticut State University. We could discuss ways we could have fun on campus and ways to get people involved in activities inside and out of the classroom. Also, it’s a way for us to keep everyone updated with what is happening on campus. In making this new step into blogging, I hope to meet many influential bloggers whose advice can help me with problems I may be faced with in the future. Also, I think it is a good way to meet a lot of new people, and some who may also share the same opinions as you. Ways I can make the writing in my blogs useful to myself, and interesting to other, is staying honest about every topic and express my own opinions on how I feel about certain things. Also, I need to be open to other people’s opinion as they may differ than mine.
