Blogging Reflection

“What did I learn from this experience?”
I have to say after 15 weeks of maintaining a blog; I have realized that I am not of the blogging type, if there is such a type. Keeping up a blog takes more time than I thought that it would and more creativity than I think I give myself credit for.
When blogging the information in my opinion, should not only be resourceful, but also capture the interest of a variety of readers. This was difficult for me. However my fellow bloggers have a great talent for this type of communication. They provided an abundant amount of helpful websites, videos, and podcasts for all of us to gain understanding and discover new ideas.
I believe that a major requirement in order to maintain a constructive and functional blog is for the blog creator to have a love of/for communication. As a trainer, most people would think that I would love to talk, but this is not true. I love my job as a trainer, but when my day comes to an end, I prefer not to communicate with the outside, in any form if I don’t have to and instead go home and relax with my family. Another part of my personality is that if I have to talk I prefer to talk on the phone and not via a computer. I think most people that blog enjoy writing and journaling and not talking on the phone. Se blogging is an easier alternative form of communication for them.


“What can I do to improve my blogging?”
As I said above, if I had more dedicated blog time and more of a desire to blog, this would eventually help me improve on my existing blog and the information that I provided.
I also think that if I was going to continue blogging in the future that by blogging about something that I enjoyed talking about and not something that was assigned would make the experience more interesting for me and my readers. Consequently this may create a more time for me to blog and even compel me to learn to love it.
