My development as a blogger:
I hated blogging. I hated it, I hated it, I hated it. I want to delete my Grade 8 blog from all existence and throw it into a fire and scatter the ashes after cutting each granule in half and mixing it some freshly extracted magma. It was one of the most painful experiences of my Grade 8 career to make that blog. I spent a solid hour trying to figure out what widgets were, another hour trying to find all 6 simple machines in a robot. I gave up on it, literally. Overall I received 56% on that blog. I sincerely wanted to delete it.
You shouldn’t be surprised about my reaction when I was told that I had to do not one, but two blogs this semester. I didn’t want to. I had enjoyed my 2 year break from thinking about it, and wasn’t quite ready for the mental torment that I had experienced to be reciprocated. I tried to keep an open mind about trying it again, but on one condition. I would not even touch the damn widgets bar on my life. Then when I read the expectations for the blog (at least three relevant widgets), I was ready to give up again. But I kept an open mind. You would not believe the feeling of satisfaction I got when I hit ‘Publish’ for the first time. Not because I was astonished at what I did, but because it was done and I wasn’t an emotional wreck. The next time I sat down to write, I was halfway thought my post when I realized something. I was liking it. Either I was at the height of a mental breakdown so I didn’t notice how much pain I was in, or I was legitimately enjoying it.
Have I developed as a blogger? Absolutely.
How would I critique my blog?
I like the look of it, certainly. I am proud of the content that I have put on it, but I wish that I had updated it more often. That’s my only real issue with it.
What will I do with my blog after this course?
Keep it! I’m not sure about adding more posts on to it, however.
Which student blogs will I continue to follow?
As many as possible!
What professional blogs have I explored?
None 🙁
