Thing #2 is learning to blog and create an avatar. I must admit that any previous experience I have with blogging has been quite unintentional, and is typically a result of internet recipe searches. I've seen some great blogs in my quest of the never-ending question: What to cook for dinner? So, while I have read a few blogs I am pretty new to this idea of running a blog of my very own. It's kind of exciting!
For practicality during this class, I titled my blog "Bailey's 23 Things" however, I am not entirely sure I will keep that title once the class is over. Blogs are a great way to keep friends and family up to date on what is going on in your life, so I may end up keeping this blog as an online journal. My husband is in the military, and since Army life can be somewhat unpredictable, blogging creates an easy avenue for sharing new life events. My posting name is also practical, just "Bailey" - my first name. I don't have any intentions of making my blog open for everyone to see nor will I be talking ill about any one person, so I had no reservations about using my own name.
Creating my blog wasn't too bad. The editing format was new to me, so it took me a minute to process it all and find my way around to do what I wanted. I am usually a quick learner and with enough hunting I can typically find what I'm looking for. I look forward to doing some more exploring to format the blog exactly as I want it. Creating my avatar was also very easy, although it did take me a minute to figure out exactly how to get it onto my blog. I had fun looking through all of the options for the avatar and giggled quite a bit with some of the more ridiculous fashions. In the end, I designed an avatar that looked like me. I figured this was my blog, so I wanted it to be a good representation of me and thought that someone reading my blog might get a better idea of who I am connecting my personality through writing with the avatar that looks like me.
