Making a blog seemed fine, the site wasn't hard to figure out. Sometimes you realize you are spending a lot of time on something (like for me, uploading a photo the right size for background), but you know that the following times will be easy. I'm somewhat reluctant to join the whole "put it all out there" trend that seems so gung ho, with Twitter and all, but the idea of community learning appeals to me. I always enjoyed following other students in an online course. When I first typed "about me" I just thought I was being casual, but when I saw the words on my blog they didn't work, they were too negative, (something about having too strong opinions). So I rewrote that to make it sound more acceptable. Just like when I post book reviews on our library blog, I can't see problems until I'm reading it online, like a new creation. The "25 blogging styles" by Bhargava was useful for me, since I'm such a newbie to this.
