I Blog, Therefore I Am

Angelina Karpovich, a Ph.D. Candidate from the University of Wales, wrote the blog article that I chose as my favorite. Her piece talked about her decision to start up a website that soon became her personal blog. The reason she started up her own Web site was to express her thoughts about online communities. She began to keep a separate blog between her academic blog and social blog. After a few weeks, Angelina noticed that her social life didn’t grab anybody’s attention, leading her to delete her social blog and focus on her academic blog. Angelina couldn’t resist the urge of the new fad called “blogging”, and she started a blog initially for research use only. Again, her blogs became a personal thing and it introduced her to new people and new things.
I chose this article because it was interesting to see how someone became so hooked on blogging. Even though Angelina tried to create a blog for academic and research reasons, she couldn’t resist going back to her personal life. She had to share her thoughts and feelings about certain personal experiences and led her to start up personal blogging again.
I’ve personally never done any type of blogging, but I’ve read many blogs that talk about any topic possible. To be able to learn how to do my own blog would help my technological knowledge and help me start up my own blog site.
