Questions:
ReplyDelete1. What advice would you give someone who is struggling to come up with a blog post?
2. What are the best ways to get your blog out to the public?
From Dr. Hochenauer I've learnt that blogging world can be as cruel as the real one. Especially if your blog is opinion one,there will always be people attacking you, wishing you the first and trying to get your blog down. Second thing is doing backup. Internet servers sometimes get broken and you can easily loose all of your work,so having your posts saved on a flash drive or external flash drive would be a great idea.
ReplyDeleteAfter hearing Dr. Hochenauer speak in class, I learned how important it is to set aside time for your blog. He said that he had certain days that he would sit down and blog and make sure that he had no distractions. this allowed his full attention to be on the blog and to meet the wants of his readers. He also stressed the importance of blogging about something that interests you so you don't get burned out, but if you do, take some time to regroup and continue writing.
