Reflection

I am not new to the concept of weblogs. Like many of our fellow students out there, I have a few blogs established in my name out there already. The only two I remember creating and still occasionally fiddle around with would be my Xanga (username: turtlebites) and MySpace, which I loathe. The idea of creating my own blog was, therefore, quite exciting to me. A chance to show off my wild internet skills and taste in decor. Well, the template was not HTML, or anything I could figure out, so I decided for the meantime to keep this default template as it is.

The best part about a weblog is that we (the Creative Writing students of Ms. Tholen's first and fourth hour classes) can easily access one another's literary masterpieces and comment accordingly. The hard part about this is...finding those students. Since we don't know eachother's usernames and/or addresses, I will probably have to wait until school tomorrow to really start commenting. Luckily my friend Ashley is a bugger when it comes to these sort of things, so she found me, so I could find her.

One thing I like about Blogger is the fact that we can have more than one blog on the same account. That means I could use this to create another blog, not for Creative Writing, but for whatever I want. I like how the blogs are set up, with idiot-proof post-finders and archives. The profile is unique and detailed, and altogether is something I could never do on Xanga. The only thing I think I dislike the most about Blogger is the difficulty of customizing the blogs. Perhaps it is not idiot proof enough for me or maybe I am just worn out after staring at the computer screen for the past hour or so, but I can't get this to look exactly as I want it to. Then again, I don't know what I want it to exactly look like so it'll be left alone for now.

So long Ms. Tholen and all the Creative Writing students! I hope to still see you around and have enough elective spots next year to take Creative Writing II!
