Blogging experience

Overall blogging experience

Please evaluate my post titled " I am not a Densha Otoko (Train Man)"


   This is a summary about my overall blogging experience since September. It introduced to me wat blogging really is. I read a lot of blogs. They are mostly about finance, politics, gaming and new gagdets. I never write a blog b4 but I enjoy reading blogs from other people. I learn a lot from reading other people’s blog. For example, wat should we do under QE3?? Should we launch national education? Wat games and gagdets are going to be released this month. Any new movie and game trailers?? I usually read these blogs.  I thought it was easy to write a blog b4. It isn’t indeed. I write one post per week. I found it difficult to come up with new topics and ideas each week. And wat I read are daily blogs. Writers update their blogs every day. I am impressed by their large amount of ideas and knowledge.

“Oooosh, wat should I write this week.”
“Omg, I cant come up with new topics”
“Come on, gimme some hints’

My mind keeps saying these every Wednesday night. I have to struggle. A? B? C? A sounds interesting but the content seems to be inappropriate. B has too little information. C is the best but less attractive. I need a lot of time to decide a topic.

Once my topic decided, I come up with another question. How do I write in an interesting way? adding pictures? Videos? Hyperlinks? I have to make so many decisions. However, the most important thing is that, I am so satisfied when my new posts are finished. Today, I am happy to have 5 posts written. This is my first time to have hand-on experience in blogging.  

I guess my blogs are not good enough. I need to pay more attention on the layout. I need to work harder on the language, how to better utilize pictures and videos etc.  

Blogging improves my writing on new media. In primary and secondary school, we learn how to write formal passages. The layout is set. Language is set. Everything must be formal. Genre must be appropriate. Words are carefully chosen. We are trained to sit in public examinations. Blogging is a new writing experience to me. Online language is forbidden in assignments. I only use it in my gaming field or to communicate with net friends. This time, my assignments encourage me to use online language. Careless grammatical mistakes are acceptable (I still try my best to avoid them).

Plus, my blog is open to public. My friends know my blog even I try to hide it. I dunno how they find my blog. They read my every blog post. They spread in whatsapp group. They pasted my blog. My friends laughed at me after they read my blog (EDITH LEUNG laughed the loudest)  L
“How can you write those stupid things on your blog. You are university student. Come on.”
Idc wat ,why and how my friends laugh at. I am happy that my blog brings them happiness. HAHA
