Homework for Feb. 1: Blog Logs

I tried to look for all different types of blogs to see what’s out there. I searched for the word Spanish, to see what I would get and found this blog, a blog created for teachers and students of Spanish. They have links to different teachers’ posts, by person, which is cool and even have students writing journals from abroad. I thought about how when I was studying in Mexico I would write bulk emails to every one describing my experience—how much cooler would it have been to say ‘here’s my blog addy’ and show them pics as well. What a great way to share adventures. I got some ideas for links and added some to mine. This blog had a real purpose…

…unlike this one, which is one of those where you find out way too much about people’s lives. The caption of this blog is: We are bored a lot. See the crap idle hands create. Nice. I think I learned from this one just how bored people can really be. Not just for creating a blog like this but actually reading it—yikes. I felt a little creepy doing it. There are five ‘contributers’ to the blog, so they share this stuff a lot, I guess. Today there was a new entry where one of the guys wrote as if he were a mouse living in a restaurant in the 70’s. Enough said.

I was truly blown away by the possibilities when I saw this blog. This person logs every thing (s)he eats. Every meal. Every day. I might do that to if I ate what she ate—homemade bread, trout tapas, and lots of granola and orange almond cake. It all sounded very wholesome and organic and lovely. Maybe it’s some time of strange diet blog… Anyways, I had to mention this one, even though I didn’t learn too much

My last blog was Resli’s, which is so cute. I really want to make a flog like this for my new nephew coming in March. I like the flog idea altogether, I had never really seen one before Reslie’s. It is a neat way to share your life with far-away family and friends, which I have a lot of. I also learned how to use Picasa, which is a photo software program that lets you blog your photos super easily.

I think overall, I learned more about blog possibilities.
