After doing ten posts on my blog, I’m only just beginning to get used to Blogger’s interface. I found that the page had a slight learning curve, and it wasn't as intuitive as I’d like. Following other blogs and editing the blog as a whole proved to be the most difficult tasks for me. But at the end, I did enjoy coming up with ways to let my personality show in my blog. I think it came out okay, but I would've liked to personalize it more if I could. For example, by being able to customize the size of an image and putting it exactly how I’d like. I found myself yearning for a type of Myspace page where I could customize everything in a much simpler way. Still, I’m happy with the end product.
Doing ten entries doesn't sound like much, and it isn't, but it required a bit of discipline to do each one usually by the next class and not let it accumulate. Similarly as when doing the journal, it was a bit difficult for me to have that pace, because I wasn't used to writing constantly. Some people have the talent of writing in a very witty and entertaining way, but at least I aimed to be open and honest in my opinions. I think that if I keep practicing by writing constantly, I will continue to get better at it. Or maybe it’s not really a skill, but a talent. While I’m not sure if my writing got better or not, I do know that with the readings I did on the “Journey in Literature” theme, I gained new knowledge and even have a different perspective on the idea of traveling. By writing a reflection on each reading, I felt that I gained a deeper insight than what I would've gained if I hadn't sat down for a moment thinking about the themes and the message the author wanted to bring across.
