I was somehow moved by the article in our Developmental Reading, that I decided to search for blog-related articles on the internet. The title of the article that was given to us (about a week or two ago) is called Blogging loses its hold on the young by Martha Irvine.
I am not an active blogger in the past two years. I started several years back (in the year 2005) when I was younger, created a page at Geocities, and posted a lot of my mess there. I don’t have any idea how blogging can be a really serious thing. All I did was type away my emotions, my insights, and some of the usual things that teenagers talk about. I didn’t even want my page to be seen by the entire world. No comments, no traffics, no hit counters, just a plain unvalidated div layout (slapped on some Photohop brushes on a cropped image, typed those css codes in notepad, and presto!) created by a plain 14-year-old girl which focused on the content of her secret place. I buldozed that place down, thinking that the whole idea is reidiculous and would rather save my logs the traditional way — pen and paper, you know what to do. The rest is history now. Anyway, here are some interesting articles (blog-related articles) that are worth your time.
Stop Hating Bloggers How Often Should You Really Post? More Young People are using Twitter…Even though I now blog regularly and get some hits, I still keep up to the traditional way. After all, it all started with the pen and paper, like who couldn’t afford to miss that? Count me in. I don’t post everyday and I don’t even use twitter at all — I don’t have a twitter account, to begin with.
Anyway, it’s fun to have a blog, you get heard and you hear other people as well. You can also make friends and surprisingly, even your offline friends get to know some stuff about you, and they comment on what you post in real life.
Blogging sure evolved through these years. These days, if you don’t have a blog, it’s not like you’re out of the fad. Whether you’re a blogger or not, it’s always good to keep a record of the things that you do, the things that you think, the things that you want to say, and so on.
