RTF 305 was my first experience with making my own blog; however, it has inspired me to make another one for my Christmas wishlist. Blogs are a great way communicate your thoughts, or in my case what I would like my extended family to but for me. I think making a blog for class was a beneficial practice because it was a unique and creative medium to do a weekly writing assignment, user and grader friendly, and more environmentally conscious. I did not encounter very many difficulties, except I found myself spending more time on the layout design or my music player, than on the actual assignments. It took me a few days to get used to the system, but I think most people would be able to operate Blogger without complications. I enjoyed the posts where we provided our own examples from TV or movies along with concepts learned in class, over discussing only theories of media, like blog posts six and eight. I entered UT undeclared in UGS and RTF 305 is my favorite class this semester. It has made me interested in a RTF major and I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in any aspect of the media. I think the blogging experience could have been improved if we were assigned to add more multimedia to our pages. Blogger has many features that I would have liked to learn to use and I think could have been valuable and interesting to take fuller advantage of the system.
Yes, you can use my blog in a paper or report.
