What i have learnt so far about Blogging?

At first, I didn’t know what blogging is. My teacher introduced the whole class about blogging and its context.  My teacher told me the steps how to make a blog. For me blogging is a little bit boring, if we don’t have anything to post about and my teacher said that we must keep our blog updated.  For me that’s the difficult part in blogging.  I also taught by some of my friends how to choose a template. I like choosing nice templates to make my blog looks so eye-catching (well it’s not) and using a few widgets like clocks and etc. This is where I can apply my creativity. I choose a gaming blog template that I downloaded on the internet. It really looks like a game blog.
  

For me, blogging helps me to connect with my friends and my teacher, new updated information from various perspectives and also you can express your opinions about the post on the comment and always make sure that you gave a feedback to your classmates. My teacher also taught me how to comment on other classmates post and build a conversation. To keep a conversation going, always end your comment with a question. My teacher also taught me how to make a quality comment. To make a quality comment, always give a compliment, add some information that will relate to the topic in the post, and always end a question. It will help us to understand more of the post. It also can build a conversation with your classmates who are also interested on the post.

Online Safety is number one in blogging. Always monitor your blogs and make sure your classmates is not commenting inappropriate comments and criticizing. Always be careful of what information you post online. Do not post your personal information that may lead to crimes and thefts such as phone number and your house address. If you post them, people are able to threat you and able to do crimes on you.

I also learned that I am able to share a lot of things, such as Medias (photos, gifs, music, files, and videos), opinions, tips, tricks, jokes, challenges, news, ideas, etc. People will find a post to be read where they are interested in, they might gain knowledge they didn’t know before from our posts and also they can share their knowledge. I am sure this is why blogging is very effective and also a good thing to be learnt.

Always make sure to proof read your posts before you post it, if you want to make your post interesting, you may add pictures, links, videos, and gif images. To make people not feeling bored reading your posts, you need to have diversity in your blog. You need to post other topics that is interesting to read and to know about. My teacher told me that I am always posting information about football.  She gave me an important feedback for me to post other things besides football. From her feedback that I received, I promise I will improve my blogging skills.

Being a blogger is both fun and boring. I downloaded templates from other websites and applied it. However, I still need to diverse my blog with different categories besides football.  I still need to give a quality comments to my classmates posts and also I need to monitor my blog frequently, and I still need to proof read my post before I publish it. These are the areas of improvements for this unit about blogging.  For me, learning about blogging is a great experience and I’ve learned a lot in this unit and I am looking forward to the next unit.
