Blogs From 4th Quarter

Over the course of this year, I have learned so many new techniques about blogging, and I think it has tremendously improved. Comparing a blog post from September to one in May, there are many differences seen. One thing that really changed in my blogs throughout this time was being more aware of what was going on around me, and how even the smallest things could turn into a page long blog post, including outside sources and quotes to help prove my point.

At the beginning of the year, I would notice something, quote it, and then be done, but near the end, specifically in the blog post  "Women In Front Of The Camera"  where i took something ordinary that happened in advisory, connected it to an article, and also my junior theme. I think that blog posts like these, with multiple sources backing it up, is the most effective way to prove a point, because it shows that its not just an idea that popped into your head, but instead, something that has been thought out and written about before as well.

Additionally, I think I found a good balance of how long a blog post should be, so that it's short and sweet and to the point, and doesn't drag on too long. Many little changes like that helped shape the progress I have made throughout the year.
