90's blog progress

Although I'm coming along and coming into my own a bit with my blog, which is saying something considering that I had no experience with blogging before, I am finding that it is somewhat difficult to keep concise and focused without wandering in my thoughts and adding an abundance of pictures. I know that the point of a blog is to cater to yourself--that being the point of an enthusiast blog, to do things how you want to--but still, it can be a challenge to condense and trim down content to be mindful of the audience.

In particular, my most recent post, A Matter of Perspective, I cut down and cut out content several times and still feel that I wandered and wasn't very strong in my focus and point. I'm grateful that we can edit posts even after posting them, it makes things much easier and is very useful to be able to go back and reword or reformat a post.

In general, though, I'm enjoying this project and the experience that comes along with blogging; I've never written something for an audience and actually seen results and gotten feedback this way before, and to be able to create and maintain something that is my own is a very unique and gratifying feeling. Even though I've already completed a third of the number of required posts for this class, I look forward to maintaining my blog, building and engaging with my audience, and enjoying and sharing the experience, both of my blog and my memories of the 1990s. Even though assignment 1 is wrapping up, I plan on continuing my blog long after this semester is over, and doing my best to maintain it in a friendly, engaging, and well-written presentation. Wish me luck.
