What makes a good blog depends on the reader.  No blog will ever appeal to everyone.   Personally, a good blog will have a casual tone.  Nothing too verbose and formal, but also not too loose and indecent . It will feel like someone is talking to you in a good conversation (you reply with a comment). The blog should give a complete story, without excessive details. Short and direct.  Images and snippets are always welcome, especially if the blog is lengthy.  Pod-casts are a little annoying to me, so no need for pod-casts.

    I am not totally up to speed with blogging.  It still feels pretty new even though my class has done so much of it first quarter. The hardest part of blogging on youth voices is finding what to blog about. When given 15 minutes to post a blog, at least 12 minutes go toward exploring Google reader for a decent topic to write about in 3 minutes.  Consequently, my posts are no where near what I have defined as a "really good" blog.  They are indeed short, but don'tdevelop as much as I'd like. On a different note, I have added three friends who in return added me.  I haven't managed to go around to comment their blogs, but will eventually. Besides, no one has commented mine.  

     In the future, I hope to find a topic that will move me to type a more than decent blog.  I have to say that this reflective blog is pretty interesting, and would like to do it again at the end of second quarter.  Hopefully I will be reflecting on my excellent blogging skills that I will develop throughout this quarter.
