  4. I used to believe that most bloggers were women, but apparently I was wrong. In the article, "The State Of The Blogosphere 2012," it states estimates that 60% of bloggers are male. I found alarming that only 9% of bloggers are able to make enough money to sustain their lifestyle, even though most bloggers are well educated and went to college.

    I still have a couple ideas for the title of my blog, but I believe I will go with: Little Brazilian, big thoughts. (Do you think it's a good title? Please let me know if I should think about something else. Good opinion is always welcomed.)

  6. Assignment One – Blogging

    1. I didn’t realize blogging had become so popular. One of the articles said that there are an estimated 31 million bloggers in the United States, which is pretty incredible if you ask me. Another thing I didn’t already know about blogging is that “about 1 in 3 bloggers are Moms, and 52 percent of bloggers are parents with kids under 18 years-old in their household.” I thought that was pretty interesting too.
    2. I decided on “The Optimistic Traveler” as the title for my blog.
    3. Yes, I created a separate gmail account from UCO.

  7. 1. I didn't know that 1 and 3 bloggers are moms. That reminds me of pioneer woman and all the blogs I see on pinterest.
    2. Most bloggers are well educated (thank goodness). That is a really cool fact, and good because a lot of bloggers are giving some sort of advice or something.
    3. I already had a separate gmail account! ejhahn5@gmail.com
    4. I'm still undecided on my name...I will have it nailed down by class tomorrow.

  8. 1. I was surprised that there were more male than female bloggers. I thought it would be the other way around. I also thought it was interesting that so many bloggers were parents, since 1 in 3 are mothers.
    2. I'm still undecided on a name but I have a few ideas.
    3. Yes, my gmail account is emilyrstinson@gmail.com

    1) On e-strategy trends says that latin americans are the lowest represented ethnicity blogging in the U.S. Also only 19% of 31 millions bloggers in America earn an income.

    2) Beneath The Muscle, have you ever anyone say, "Oh he's a guy, it's okay." Or "I don't understand you I'm a man." My blog will be about how men can become leaders, opposed to falling into the "man" habits.
