This class was the first time that I actually had a blog.  I didn't really see anything great about the blog and it seemed sort of like a waist of time.  The only helpful part about it was when I posted what I was going to write about and then other people commented on it.  They told me what they liked or disliked about my subject and the information I planned to use to persuade the audience.  This information did help me a little bit in writing my paper.  But besides that, nobody commented on anything else I put, so it was basically just putting my thoughts on the blog.  Which in my view of thought, I can do in my head and if they are really important then I will right them down on paper.  I thought blogging about the reading that we were supposed to do may have been good becasue nobody really talked when we discussed it in class.  In this case though, I thought we should have made just one blog and then have everyone comment on that so everyones thoughts were on one post instead of several different blogs.  Overall, my first experience with blogging was very poor and I will probably never use it again unless it is required for a class.  I feel like if I want to express my thoughts and have people comment on it, it would be way easier with a social network such as Facebook.  On these sites, people will actually look at what I put and comment on it.
