My purpose of blogging is to be reflective about my work as a Professional Developer.

Blogger Therapy
Recently about five minutes ago..I had my first session of Blog Therapy! Yep, you heard it right-Blog Therapy. Well, initially I created two post and waited for others to respond and nothing. Then I became addicted to lurking other blogs. I went to see a Blog expert to find out if true blogging requires immediate responses from others. It doesn't.

laura - i think you're on to something, what seems to remain a question for many would-be bloggers is a purpose. without really knowing what you want your blog to be, it's easy to be disappointed with the experience. i applaud your 'mission statement' and i'm fairly certain that if it continues to guide your blogging you won't be disappointed. i look forward to reading...and commenting!
ReplyDeleteI find my blog has sort of changed from the original intent--at first it bothered me but now I'm okay with that. Now I'm spending more time responding to blogs than writing my own because I'm so intrigued by what I'm reading.
ReplyDeleteI too appreciate your mission statement-it is a reflection of who you are.
I admire your reflection about the real purpose of blogging for you. I too entered this project thinking it would be an opportunity that engages me in reflective writing. At first, I didn't really expect interactions, but so enjoyed them when they came. Once in a while, I really want folks to read one of my posts because I want their input and think I could grow from their thoughts. So far, the posting had been more rewarding than the amount of feedback, but I hope that changes as we accustom ourselves to this form of interaction.
ReplyDeleteOn a comical note, one reason that I have noticed right away for blogging is to work on my spelling issue! Knowing that the world is going to read what I post, has made a difference in caring about my spelling! Wait one minute while I cut and paste this into a word document to check my spelling before I post....He He
