In-class Blog Review

So, yesterday I went into class expecting the peer blog review to be a group chat that would be a bit uninspired, a bit awkward, and maybe if I was lucky, I would get a useful piece of advice or two out of it so I could better gear my Enthusiast blog toward the audience. I've never really been very helpful at critical peer review, I usually don't see any big problems aside from grammar and syntax. I guess I'm just nice that way. But anyway, it turns out it wasn't like that at all; when I showed my blog to the group I was in, I got a far better response than I had anticipated.

I really wasn't sure what would happen when I showed my blog to whichever group I wound up in, maybe they'd be mildly interested and give me a useful bit of advice or two, or maybe they wouldn't have too much to say at all. I was psyched to find out that the people in my group really enjoyed my blog and thought it was a great idea. I'd been having a pretty good time posting entries in the blog myself, but the group response has made me much more confident and happier with my blogging. Granted, I received a lot more praise than advice (but since when is that bad? Never!), so I only have a couple ideas of what to do to modify my blog as a whole, but I look forward to posting future entries confidently and enjoying myself while I do so. I also look forward to improving how my personality comes through in my blogging and helping that along by posting personal entries (personal memories and whatnot), and generally allowing myself to come through to the audience more.

Here's hoping I'll get an even bigger audience and more positive reviews!
