Blogging would have to be one of the easiest ways, I think, to get your feelings out there to people without actually worrying about what you’re saying. I like blogging for my classes because in Honors that the only writing I do. I feel its a way that I can put whatever I’m feeling on a document and save it for everyone to see. If I don’t like it later I can delete it. Simple as that. I believe blogging really hits a different point of view for some people unlike writing essays or short writings for class.
Blogging also gives a great benefit for people who would like immediate feedback. When I write an essay, there’s a lot of time that goes into it and I have to spend time trying to find people who will read it. With blogging I just need to write, post, and leave it alone. I’ll find out what they say later and can go on about my day not worrying about the blog.
When it comes to public blogging, however, I don’t think just anyone should be allowed on just any site. If someone wants to blog about something they can use the ‘Notes’ in their Facebook account. Blog sites should have availability to who the site founders want. I don’t want to belong to a blog site about music and read others’ blogs about politics. That wouldn’t be the purpose. “There’s a time and place for everything.” That’s how the Internet and blogging should be as well.
Bloggers should know how to blog, where to blog, and should be able to write about whatever they want, but in a place that actually works. Political sights are for politics not Great-Grandma’s dog. A music sight is for music, not for an every day posting on how a women’s pregnant belly is growing. Blogs are a great way to get one’s feelings out there without really trying but being appropriate should really be the key.
