Blogging is a new concept that many people have yet to touch base with. It is big, it's bold, and it's all the hype. For most people that I have personally spoken with bogging comes off as a bit of a joke. However, when you sit back and look at the convenience of a blog, it starts to grow on you.
When I was first told that I would be required to blog for a college assignment, it almost made me sick. The problem was I was knocking something that I had never tried. My perspective on blogging was, that as a whole it was for either computer geeks trying to get the inside scoop on when the next World of Warcraft tourney was, or over zealous dog trainers who can't get enough pooch info.
Those assumptions were blown out of proportion and just plain wrong. Blogging has made the community writing portion of english1010 easier, and as far as I'm concerned much more efficient. Blogging has grown on me since this assignment has started, it allows a entire class to share thoughts and writing with a speed that I for one could have never imagined otherwise. Not to mention that we don't even have to attend class on Fridays because of it. I'd like to see a handwritten persuasive essay achieve that...

I know exactly what you mean about judging the blogging. I wasn't exactly excited for it either. However, I find this almost fun and definitely a lot better than doing a paper every week or busywork paper assignments. When you blog you can give your opinion to everyone easier and faster, and everyone will take it to heart.
