Blogging Reflection

I have really enjoyed keeping my blog throughout the semester, especially since I have had a blog for five years now. I started blogging back in 2008 about political campaigns and I continue to blog about them to this day. I even started another blog in 2010 called "Marin Hikes" which talked about good hikes in Marin County in the Bay Area where I live. While I stopped blogging about hiking in Marin, I still continue to blog about political races.

I found blogging in Writ 140 to be a slightly different experience however. For Writ 140, I had to do assignments instead of free work so I was more focused in my responses to the blog prompts. It also taught me about how I can work on my audience. For example, my blogposts used to be too long so it would be difficult for people to read them. I also realized how I need to keep my blogposts simple so people are not confused.

Overall, what I learned is that my blogging is good but definitely can be improved. This work may inspire me to do other blogging, including a blog about life at USC, an online diary basically that I would update once a week. Maybe I should even think about a Vlog on Youtube.
