Do you read any blogs? Why or why not?
Yes! I try to read blogs related to the industry I plan to work in post-graduation. There are a lot of advertising, PR and marketing agencies that blog regularly about industry trends, work they have done, and news as it relates to the industry. I also will read blogs relating to some of my interests.
If you do, which blogs do you read? Who writes them? What do you think motivates them to blog? Link us to them, if you'd like.
As I mentioned in the previous answer, I read some Ad/PR agency blogs. I don't really read any regularly, just what catches my eye in my Twitter feed. These blogs are written by employees of the agencies. It seems like a great way for them to reflect on their work and share their ideas with others, as well as give possible clients or prospective employees and idea of what their agency is all about.
As for the blogs I read about my hobbies and interests, I feel that these are done more for leisure- they can even become a hobby themselves. It is a way to share their passion with the worldwide web.
Was setting up your blog easy? Why or why not?
Yes, I have used this platform for awhile, mostly for other class blogs.
Why did you choose the template you did? Did you make any changes to the template? Why or why not? Is there anything you'd like to change but aren't sure how?
I kept it simple for now and used a template. I chose the book theme to emphasize that it is a blog for school. I will probably end up tinkering around later and personalizing my blog.
As you were doing the above writing for this blog, how is your writing different (is it?) from writing in other contexts? Are you thinking about it or approaching it differently? How so?
I sort of approached it interview style- it seemed to be the simplest way to ensure all the questions above were accounted for. I normally write in paragraph form so this was a nice change.
