Introduction
During sixth grade, I have been blogging with my Grammar class. I have learned how important self expression through writing and interaction with overseas students is.
Positives
My I am post, for instance, uses the landscape, objects and sounds to represent my character and style. A similar method of writing is demonstrated in my Where I am from post as well.
I also met other students by participating in the Student Blogging Challenge, a blogging competition. Miss W., the creator of the challenge, encourages interaction with blogs outside of the classroom.
Negatives
In all of the time I have spent blogging, I have noticed one distracting, reoccurring problem on multiple blogs: widgets.
Many widgets I have seen used are useful to visitors, like a calendar or a map that counts the vistors that have gone there. On the other hand, many widgets can distract the readers from the actual writing on the blog.
