I've blogged before; in fact I've blogged a lot using Xanga and MySpace, but only as a personal blog. I wrote down my thoughts and adventures with friends and family. I was in junior high when blogging was my craze, and I haven't written a blog in quite a while. I'm excited for the blogs, though, because I love to write. I feel I may put too much opinion and personalization into my first blog, so this blog might be the learning blog.
Are you looking foward to this class? I took Intro to Media Writing last semester, and I'm looking forward to working with specific types of media writing, including blogs. I know this class will allow my last blog to be way better than this blog. I am taking two other classes where I have to blog, so I will become quite the blogging expert! =)
Since I've only written personal blogs, I did read a little information about blogs and the whole "blogoshphere" on Wikipedia.
Well, since this is my first blog, I'll introduce myself a little. I grew up in a small town called Cooperstown, just 50 miles north of Valley City. So, I guess you can say I like small town environments. I especially love minimal traffic because traffic drives me nuts! I have been at VCSU for two and a half years now, majoring in communications.
I like to hang out with friends and family in my spare time. When I'm really bored, I'd rather spend an entire day on the internet than watching T.V. Though, I do love to watch movies! =) I love thrillers and my two ultimate favorite movies are The Lost Room and Marley & Me (I love dogs!). The Lost Room is a six hour movie, but I really liked it because it's a weird movie that kept my attention throughout all six hours!
That's all for now.

ReplyDeleteIf you are up for it, I may be asking for blogging assistance. You sound experienced and I am a new comer often struggling. One thing is how to add links. I haven’t figured that out yet.
I am looking forward to the class. I have had several from Dr. VanHorn and really enjoy her teaching. She knows how to assign work that helps you learn and engage the class. The online thing is new from her but I’ve taken other online courses. I haven’t done much writing lately but will enjoy that. I do like to write. I develop and publish a newsletter that goes the VCSU employees and outside interested parties so hope the skills I sharpen can be used to help write some of the information used there.
Have a good long weekend.

Xanga was huge back when I was in junior high too! Like you said on there it was mostly blogging your thoughts or what you did each day, kind of like a journal. Marley and Me is a great movie! I also loved watching that. The Lost Room must be good if it kept your attention for six hours! I also took Media Writing last semester and am looking forward to this class and writing these blogs.
