Hello fellow adventurers. If you have stumbled through some foggy woods or a deep cave into this area I foreworn you, this will be a place for my opinions mostly on topics of my English professors choosing and some of my own. Todays topic is my opinion on blogs.
As I read through a few of the recommended blogs by my professor I had that topic in mind. I have to say as a writer of one I am not a fan. I do not like putting my thoughts on the internet for the world to see, but I can see how it could be beneficial to the writer or the reader.
An example I found as beneficial for the reader was this quaint cooking blog Smitten Kitchen. I love cooking and reading cooking blogs. I learned a new recipe that looks absolutely delicious and I learned the history of eggplant parmesan. I think finding new recipes and learning what they mean to someone else just helps us who enjoy cooking to feel inspired.
Now to benefit of the writer I read a blog called Katie did what. In this blog she talked about homeschool curriculum. It felt more like a paid advertisement. I think this one it benefited the writer because she got to feel pride talking about how she builds a curriculum for her kids and how proud of her kids she is. She talked about the website she uses to help build this curriculum and as I said before it felt like a paid advertisement, which in this case I hope she was paid for it because it was well articulated. I do not have kids and I wanted to use the website.
You made it this far I guess now I will go into more detail about my opinion of blogs. I think if you find the right blog for you as a reader it can be an awesome experience. As a blog writer maybe getting your feelings to the world or just written down for your own personal gratification is helpful. For me I dislike this. I do not think I will continue this blog past my English class, and that is ok, blogging is not for everyone! I do encourage you to read a blog and maybe try to write one. Who knows you could be the next big thing or find a new hobby.
Until next time, I hope you roll a high initiative

Yeah, blogging also isn't my thing. I consider myself an alright writer, but I don't think I would willingly spend time blogging outside of this class. There's just not enough of an audience vs a platform like YouTube or Twitter/X. I had thought about creating a YouTube channel before and going into content creation, but blogging aint it. -Jason R
