My First Blog: Learning to create a blog.

What is a blog?

"a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer; also : the contents of such a site "

Source: Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/blog)

Questions:

  1. Was it an easy or difficult process to create this blog?
  2. What sort of problems, if any, did you encounter when learning how to make a blog?
  3. Did you find answers to your problems and/or questions?
Responses:

  1. To begin this assignment I consulted the search engine Google to search "how to create a blog."  I explored both WordPress and Blogger and chose to use Blogger as it was more user-friendly and easier to navigate than WordPress.  I found WordPress to be quite confusing.  With Blogger it was relatively stress free; all I had to do was simply create a Google account (I do not have a Gmail account so I used my Hotmail account) and set up a profile with the information that I was willing to provide online.  One of the hardest tasks was to create a username, oftentimes I have no idea what to pick as a username.  But alas, I came up with one and started to create my blog.
  2. I did not encounter any major technical problems while attempting to make my blog.  Blogger is an excellent online resource that allows people to write about topics of their choosing.
  3. I found that Blogger was the best choice for me personally as I tend to get easily frustrated with complicated and technical websites. 
-> I look forward to writing many more blogs in the future!
