Hurla Post # 1

Blogging is something almost completely new to me.  Before taking this class I had no idea so many people blogged or even that organizations had bloggers.  I viewed blogging as more of a hobby and didn't know anyone who had a personal blog.

After the readings in class I've found out that blogs are good way to show your expertise on a subject, ramble, or just share ideas with others who have the same passion as yourself.

If I were to contine a blog outside of class, I would have many options to write about.  Horror movies are my favorite thing to watch and so I could have a blog devoted entirely to horror movies.  I may not be an expert in any area, but it would be fun to discuss the latest movies or classics in the genre.

Potentially less interesting, I could blog about being a student at Washburn.  Students from Washburn or other colleges could be interested in the student life here.  High school students looking at prospective colleges could also follow.

Although I have been skeptical about blogs in the past, I do believe that blogging is worth a shot.  If blogs could potentially advance someone's career, than why not go for it? In my experience it's always been good to write it all out.
