Since I have never created a blog before, starting it off was a lot more challenging then I thought it would be. The only blogs I’ve ever read have been on limited topics, like photography or fashion, so I wasn’t really sure where to start when making this blog. Having never kept up with any blogs, I thought they were basically only for people focusing on specific subjects that they are interested in. For example, an artist might create a blog to showcase their work and discuss art with others that were interested or a movie fanatic may create a blog to post about movies that they like, but because I have never had a purpose to create a blog, I haven’t ever thought about blogs or really formed an opinion on them. It seems that there are some similarities between Facebook, Myspace, and blogs. On Myspace you can post blogs, but other than that there are also similarities with bulletins. They both involve putting something out on the internet for others to read. Both of these websites relate to blogs because of the accessibility of people’s personal thoughts. They allow private thoughts to be posted on the internet and viewed by the public. Facebook and Myspace seem more based around communication with friends, whereas blogging seems to be based solely on sharing your own ideas. Making a blog is basically a form of writing, except it seems less formal then perhaps writing an essay for a class assignment.

The main thing that caught my eye with your writing, is the fact that you say you never had a purpose in writing a blog. Surely you are passionate about something. We all have our specific interests. There are many different cultures that shape our class. No matter what the subject, whether it be from movies, to books, to food, etc., we each have something that is ingrained in us.
Though I have talked of the basic things that make up our cultures, I have wonderred, too, at why I have not mentioned the most important thing that each of us has: beliefs. Each of us believes in a certain thing a certain way, and it is essential for all of us to share those beliefs with others.
Therefore, I have a hard time believing that you never had anything that inspired you. Thus, I ask, why couldn't you make a blog?
You made a good point, but I didn't mean I'm not passionate about anything. I guess I didn't really word it correctly, though. What I meant was that I have never been inspired to write a blog about what I'm passionate about...if that makes sense. For example, I'm very passionate about photography & music, I've just never felt like blogging about it before. Honestly, I had never really thought about blogs prior to this class, so it's all kind of new to me.
