Reflective Post Write 1

My two greatest challenges I’ve had while blogging are keeping up with a somewhat routine post and knowing that it is available for almost anybody to read. Most blogs post on a somewhat routine schedule, whether it be every day or every Sunday, most blogs have a somewhat organized schedule. It’s hard for me to keep up with regular posts or to have sort of routine to what I’m doing. I also find it hard that basically anyone can read my blog. I’ve always been the type of student who doesn’t like to share my writing with classmates or teachers directly. Writing a blog puts my work out for anybody to read, which is an intimidating factor. I’ve learned that I need to be more proud of my work, and that it’s good to have feedback from readers and other students.

I think my project’s greatest strength is my passion for my topic. It makes writing much easier if you are interested in the topic that you are writing about. I think my topic and the different posts I write about are directly connected to my life in one way or another that it makes it much easier for me to write. I think it helps my writing because it’s both easier to write and I am more confident in my writing because I can relate to my topics.

My greatest limitation about my blog is that I feel repetitive. Although I haven’t written all of my posts, I am nervous that a lot of them will be very similar in topic and will start to sound too repetitive. Although I have different ideas for posts, I think that using different ways to get my points across, like videos and infographics will help to switch up the posts and prevent them from sounding too similar.

I think the biggest thing that will help my blog is using different types of posts. In class we discussed the list about all the different types of blog posts that are available. I’m particularly interested in using different types of media with my posts and think that will really help to improve my blog. I also hope to have my reader’s become more involved, maybe with some type of poll or question for them to answer. Finally, I think that creating some sort of schedule for myself, such as a weekly post, will help to keep me on track and provide better posts for my readers.
