Personal experiences with blogging

I do not have too much personal experience with blogging. When I was a sophomore here at the University of Hartford, in the fall of 2004, I began as a professional and technical writing major. I took Foundations of Argument and we covered an entire section on blogs toward the end of the semester. We analyzed a blog and also posted some blog entries of our own. That is the only academic blogg experience I have had.

I do have a myspace and facebook account though. For both online sites, there are sections where people can post on your "wall" (in facebook) and post comments (on myspace) for everyone to see, unless your profile is private. Myspace also allows people to post comments about pictures people have uploaded onto their page. You can also write messages that only that person can read (one that is not available to the public). Similarly, facebook allows people to comment about the pictures an individual has posted as well. It also allows people to send private messages. I find both of these sites are very similar. I am not a facebook and/or myspace fanatic, but I think it is a great thing to be able to have something like this that will allow you to locate friends you have lost touch with for one reason or another, or keep up with your current friends.
