Entry #1: Blogging?

My opinion of blogs before starting this class was not the best. I didn't understand the point of them or why people would rather sit online talking to strangers of the world about their lives; and that is only if the strangers are even reading them. Now that I have started this course and read some about blogs, I understand the different purposes for them and why people write them. And that the basic blog I thought of, is not the only type of blog out there (for college, for a professional site, as a citizen, and for personal reasons). Before the start of this course I had no interest in reading blogs or creating one, I was hardly on the internet as is. Most of the blogs I have read since the start of this course have not interested me, except for a select few. The serious, business type blogs along with the personal blogs of others do not interest me. I tend to day dream while I am reading or do not focus at all. Blogs that are attractive to me insist of daily matters, artsy, and simple. Ones that have art involved pictures, or music! Then I am hooked.
