my own blog

For the most part, I feel that the blog has been an overall success for the english class. When I first came into this class, I had never heard of what a blog was, and this was my first exposure to one. i found it interresting that so many people have been able to communicate so openly over the internet for everyone to be able to read. Another benificial purpose of the blog was being able to post the draft workshops. this allowed us to see not only what was being said about our own papers, but being able to view the problems that others were having as well. I found that reading others post on a paper other than my own was just as helpful as the blog from the person that read my paper. I do not think that blogs will be as popular as many other types of communication, but they are a great tool to help get your opinion out. The only problem with blogs is the problem with making them avalible on a wide spread basis. if there was a way for a blog to be out there for everyone to see, then I feel the blogs would be more benificial to people on a more worldwide basis. As for right now, the blog only affects yourself and the direct people that you know.
