Two topics that I would be interested in writing about would be blogs about news or lifestyle blogs. I think that both of them contribute a lot to society and hold a lot of the public's interest, so I think they would be great topics to write about.
ReplyDeleteTwo topics: blogging's effect on business, or blogging's effect on mental health.
ReplyDelete1. This is an essay about blogging's effect on mental health and it is interesting because blogging may be therapeutic for struggling people. My thesis is that blogging can have a cathartic effect for people facing trials in their lives.
2. Three probable links as sources:
-American Psychological Association http://www.apa.org/monitor/2014/06/blogging.aspx
-The Official Blog For Mental Health Project http://blogformentalhealth.com/
-Scientific American

Two Topics that I am interested in for the midterm are:
ReplyDeleteThe Effects of DIY Remedies on Blogs: Is it a good idea?
or
How does falsified information streaming through blogs affect the reader?
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteMy two topics will be "Blogging's effect on Businesses internally" and "How blogging is affecting journalism in countries with stricter press laws."
ReplyDeleteI can think of one topic social media and its affects on blogging, I can't think of another topic right now. Maybe something to do with news and blogging.
ReplyDeleteI think that I will be looking at how much blogging has changed the way we use social media. Blogging and threads were around before a lot of the modern social media. I think that would be fun.
ReplyDeleteThis is an essay about how blogging ties into the development of social media, and it is interesting because blogging has been around for a long period of time. My thesis is that blogging influenced the development of modern popular social media.
This is an essay about blogging and the news and it is interesting because it has to do with how news has been effected by the growth of the Internet and its popularity among the people. My thesis (the main point of the paper that I'm supporting with my sources) is: Blogging and the Internet effect the way people have come to communicate with one another.
ReplyDeleteI think I would be interested in writing an essay about writer platforms and how blogs effect book sales
ReplyDeleteI only have one idea. I am interested in all things sports, therefore, I want to write about how much easier blogging makes finding information about specific teams/news. For instance, many people that want Thunder updates, check the Daily Thunder blog. Obviously you could check major websites such as ESPN, but they don't always post news/have the inside scoop about a specific topic that you're searching for like a local blog might.
ReplyDeleteI think I would be interested in writing an essay about writer platforms and how blogs effect book sales
ReplyDeleteI would like to do my blog essay about how blogging has affected the gaming community and industry. Another topic would be how blogging has affected the entertainment industry.
ReplyDeleteA possible idea for my essay is Women in Blogging, Why do Women Blog more?
ReplyDeleteAnother possible idea is how blogging has changed the fashion industry.

I would like to write about traveling and how blogging has changed how people travel and try to budget money for trips.
ReplyDeleteAnother idea I have it to write about fashion and how people utilize fashion blogs for their influences and to shop online.
I think my essay will be about health and fitness. A source could be http://www.pbfingers.com/
ReplyDeleteThis is an essay about "Why To Move to OKC" and it is interesting because Oklahoma City is thriving and being named as a top city to live in. My thesis is pros and cons about why OKC is a great place to live.
ReplyDeleteThis is an essay about the outdoor community in OKC and it is interesting because it is not a topic often talked about and it is meaningful to me. My thesis is discussing how you can get outside in a place like Oklahoma City and surrounding areas.
Two possible topic ideas for my blog essay are;
ReplyDelete1) How blogs have led to the blending of music genres.
2) How blogs have led to more digital downloads in hip-hop, and how it has effected album sales.
I think my essay will be about male guides to female communication or how to have a strong marriage.
ReplyDeleteI'm not totally positive on what I want to write about, but I think it either might be about how blogging can help a writer gain confidence in one's self and become more self aware overtime OR I want to write about the aesthetics of blogs and social media. How people are striving for an aesthetically pleasing look of a theme rather than focus on the individual posts themselves. The content matches and there's a continuity to its appearance. It's about how the overall piece looks at the end of the day.
ReplyDelete1. Then, you will choose a topic and you will have completed the following sentence and commented below.
ReplyDeleteThis is an essay about starting a blog and it is interesting because __starting a blog can be challenging. My thesis (the main point of the paper that I'm supporting with my sources) is____http://startbloggingonline.com/______________________. Post below by end of class.

I would really like to write about beauty blogging and make up tutorials. There are a ton out there, and I personally really enjoy them because it's real women promoting products they believe in, not just someone trying to sell you something. However, I'm having a hard time turning this into a thesis or why it is interesting other than the fact that I am interested in it.
