So this was my first attempt at keeping a blog, or rather my first attempt at keeping a blog that lasted more than a single entry. I've never really keep a diary, online or off before so it was definitely new to me and getting into a routine of regularly updating it wasn't easy. I've used a pretty simple layout, I've never liked pages that look overly cluttered so the simple design works well for what I'm going for. I also didn't want anyone viewing the blog to be overwhelmed with different content, I wanted it to be easy to read and digest.
Most of the blog content is directly related to the lectures and tutorials, writting out and re-reading these entries seems to also be a good study method for the upcoming exam, drilling these concepts into my brain definitely isn't a bad thing. I've tried my best to make the posts interesting, not just a regurgitation of the lecture notes, this made them much more enjoyable to write and hopefully a little less tedious to read. I've put hyper-links in the text where I felt it was appropriate and added images and embeded videos to reinforce the ideas discussed in the blog entries and to make the blog appear much more visually pleasing.
Overall keeping a blog has definitely helped me reflect on the concepts and ideas that have been presented in this unit, although I'm not sure if I will continue to be a contributor to the online journal world simply because I'm lazy - I always find it hard to keep a routine going.
In conclusion, I'll leave you with this quote by one of my favourite comedic writters -
'I refuse to use the word Blog, because it sounds like something that lives on a riverbed and communicates through farts' - Ben Croshaw.
