*How easy/difficult was your experience working with Blogger? Did you feel frustrated at any point with the technology or the kinds of knowledge you had to have to blog the way you wanted to? What was inetersting or fun about working with Blogger?

*For the most part working with blogger was easy. At first I really had a hard time navigating around the site and this began to frustrate me. There were some topics that I didn't like. I found them boring or I simply didn't feel an urge to so them because they didn't peek my interest.

Was writing the entry relatively painless or kind of a pain in the neck? Why or why not? Was it hard to write at least 250 words?

* It wasn't hard at all for me to write 250 words. I think this is the perfect amount (not too much or too little). The topics that didn't seem to peek my interest had me feeling at times "Oh boy, how will I write 250 words? I don't even know what to write." But once I was able to flow, it wasn't bad, especially with the topics I liked. The one that comes to mind is the one where we talked about liesure activites and I spoke of shopping!


*Was it easy/difficult to meet the deadline for the entry and the comments? Why or why not? Do you think there may be a better way to set up a deadline? (If so, what is it?) Should there be a deadline at all?

* At first it was very easy for me to mee the deadline. As time passed, i found myelf always forgetting to do them; I would remember at the last minute. Once I didn't realize that the deadline had passed and I was writing the blog and during to be informed that they were already due! Lol ,so tired having a hard time keeping up with the days.

Discuss your experience interacting with other class blogs. Did you learn anything in special that you think you wouldn't have if we didn't have blogs? In general, were comments useful or just kind of pro forma?

* No, I didn't learn anything special in other class blogs. Yes, I did find the comments useful. I also liked that it allowed me to know small facts about my classmates. I found it a bit interesting that alot of us never spoke to each other and still I know little facts about where they come from.


*Compare blogging to other kinds of writing you have done in previous courses.

* In other courses I have done blogs, research papers, and creative writing.

Do you think you would like to keep on blogging on your own?

* My first response when asked this question from a classmate was HELL NO! lol. I was kidding!
When I first started the blogs for this class, I was like "yeah, Ill start my own blog! Um what should it be about?" I haven't decided on what topic Ill write about sooo... Also my time is extremely tight, but when I get some extra time I will sit and do one. Maybe I will start a poetry blog! Ill have a topic posted, for example "anger" and we will all post anger poems. Thinking will start with myspace. Those who wanted to hear my poetry, Emerged_Beauty@yahoo.com. Hit me up!

I agree with you about some of the blogs. there were some blogs that I was wondering how I was going to write 250 words about topic that did not interest me. however, once I started to write the words just started to flow. I believe this experience was really fun. It was the first time I had to write a blog and at first It was a hassle trying to navigate around the site however once I got the hang of it I enjoyed blogging. Good luck with keeping up with the bloggs.
