Blogging


     So as I look back through my blogs, I am coming to an amazing realization that my writing style has well, stayed pretty much the same. I do not believe that I have made any sort of huge change in how I write. It may have taken me a few posts to realize it, but the class blog assignments are much more relaxed than any other assignments I have done in the past. I suppose that I have relaxed my grammar slightly and now I may be letting ideas flow a little more freely, and I think that this is a good thing. As far as the colloquialisms that accompany most blogs, not class blogs necessarily, but blogs in general, I am making a conscious effort to avoid them. I feel that even this is a fairly relaxed setting formal grammar rules should still apply. I want to have confidence in anything and everything that I am going to put on the internet that could potentially be traced back to me at a later time. Even on facebook, I try to keep things appearing professional, regardless of the media. I have always been told to only let things be seen that you would be comfortable with the world seeing and I intend to keep living by that rule. To me, blogs are just another way to express feelings or opinions on or about a subject and should be treated similarly to any other assignment. My theory is if you always present yourself in a respectable manner, you will not have trouble presenting yourself when it is important to be respectable.

  1. I do the same thing with making sure everything looks professional, even when I'm texting.

    I think this is a very important idea to keep in mind, especially in a time where everyone has access to the Internet, and consequently, the information that we put on the internet.
