A Second Meta-Post

Though my blog posts don’t necessarily relate to each other, they all build off of specific topics discussed in class.  This includes ideas of motive and expectations, tolerance and priorities.  Many of my articles and examples I find in everyday life, instead of looking for instances that fit a topic I am writing about.

My posts from second quarter are similar in length, and I believe that I have figured out that the length I typically use is both readable and comprehensive.  My method for encouraging my reader to respond has continued to include both implicit and explicit means.  Also, I have consistently used pictures to add interest and insight.

I have begun to include some posts that show my own opinions on the topics on which I am commenting.  This is especially true when the post discusses issues of faith, like “It’s Not Easy Being Green” and “Existence of the Supernatural”.  These posts have not created as much feedback as I would have liked, but I enjoy writing them more than some of my other posts.

I appreciate the informal nature of a blog.  It allows for easy discussion, and helps to extend classroom conversation.  It’s a good way to be able to participate and casually speak about topics that interest me, while receiving insight from peers, and possibly from other readers.
