Thing #2

What previous experiences do you have with blogs, reading or writing?

This has been my first experience creating a blog, but I have read quite a few. Usually, I stumble upon them when I’ve conducted an internet search for something in particular like a DIY project or recipe. I’ve found them connected to sites like Youtube and Pinterest. I love reading blogs. They usually contain very useful or relatable information from my peers who are sharing their personal trials/errors and successes and stories.

     How did you decide on your posting name and the name of your blog?

I followed instructions and named my blog after myself and my blog post after whichever “thing” it pertains to.

    What was your experience in creating the blog? Was it hard for you or easy? Why?

Creating this blog was fun and quite easy. I just followed the given instructions. It was also nice to customize my blog using the provided templates.

     How does your avatar reflect your personality? Did you create an avatar that looks like your real self or someone totally different? Why?

I have created an avatar before when I was active on Yahoo messenger. I was a little disappointed by the limited options available on Doppleme, but it was still pretty fun. I tried my best to personalize my avatar to my likeness. My avatar is dressed casually as I like to do on most days. It has glasses. I don’t wear my glasses often as I prefer contact lenses, but I felt like my little avatar didn’t represent me without them.
