The Question “Why Blog?” can have numerous of answers that can prove why it is beneficial to us. In this article the author begins by explaining recent studies on college students and their writing, but soon gives us reasons why blogging could be better for everyone from students to adults. Also describing the opportunity of exploring and developing faster as a writer as a whole. Before reading this article I had always thought that blogging was basically just a way to give your thought on a event or some specific topic.
After reading some of these reasons I began to realize how much blogging can have a way bigger impact on you from connecting to people, to writing your on blogs. Also how much easier it was to write something on a blog rather than on a piece of paper being stuck for hours on not knowing what to write. He explained that blogging is one of the best ways to develop as a writer and it seems about true. In the article it explains to us that since 2002, blogging site Technorati.com has recorded over 133 million blogs. From that study you can see how much blogging can be a positive outcome for some.
Now as I begin blogging I feel a little more comfortable after reading this article. The author explains to us that claiming a interest and reading other blogs can help you with ideas what to blog about, also that blogging doesn’t require a specific length, topic, format, or have any deadlines. Which obviously allows us the blogger to take our time and express more on our blogs and make sure they are presentable.
I honestly enjoyed reading this article because it informed me about the ways blogging can have a educational purpose and can help me with writing. Not only that it listed information I had no clue about such as the exploring and the writing characteristics that weren’t necessarily needed. As a beginner blogger I had no interest in blogging or writing to where everyone can see what I go through or have to talk about, but as I learned it can also help others with similar problems or whatever I blog about. Glad I get to see where this will go
