What to do, what to do for my blog? This is the question I\u2019ve been wrestling with over these past few weeks since the start of this Writing in and for the Digital Environment class. And when I say wrestling, I mean WRESTLING. All students are required to create their own blog. However, I have no idea what I want my blog to be about. I could have my blog revolve around my areas of interests or majors. This would mean the blog would center around education policy or simply politics in general. If so, I do have some education blogs that I like and would aspire for my blog to emulate. For instance, Teach Junkie <\/a>is a great site for educators as it provides teachers in the classroom with project ideas, room designs, activities, and other resources. This site is beautifully set up and easy to navigate. I could scroll for hours observing their interesting ideas, thinking if I would\u2019ve been interested in them when I was younger and taking notes for future reference. The pictures they provide for each idea is helpful too. \u00a0Another blog that I like is Coolcatteacher<\/a>. I am not so keen on the design of the blog, but the blog\u2019s purpose is very clear. It also offers smart suggestions for teachers to follow in the classroom. The precision and purpose that these two blogs offer are what I want for my blog. I want my blog\u2019s title and mission to relate. I want to design a blog where people automatically know what to anticipate when they click on it. I would love to have a blog where I could talk about anything that interested me but I believe you must find your audience before doing something like that. People must connect with you to want to listen to your opinions and actually care. People love a purpose and mission. \u00a0But also, it is a personal blog. Maybe it wouldn\u2019t be a bad idea to blog about whatever interests me? Maybe I shouldn\u2019t be so worried about what people would like? I just worry about being limited by doing one thing. I am more than my major or just one of my interests. Maybe I could combine two passions the way Racialicious<\/a> does with combining the media and the problems people of color face within it? I don\u2019t know. Now, do you see what I mean when I say I\u2019ve been wrestling with ideas? Ugh.<\/p>\n http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/y9adqvca<\/p>\n Although I don\u2019t know what exactly I want my blog to be about yet. I have an idea of how I want it to look stylistically. I\u2019m huge on colors, things that pop, and instantly grab attention. \u00a0I want the colors of my blog to mesh well and to be bright. I also want the format to be side to side like TeachJunkie<\/a>. I even want to have a category section at the top of the site similar to ACupofJo<\/a> to help readers navigate the different topics\/ categories throughout the blog. The combination of these things would grab people\u2019s attention, help them see a majority of the articles at once without having to scroll so long, as well as help them better navigate through the blog. \u00a0I want a blog that is visually appealing so that people come, but a blog that also has great content which should\u00a0make them say. I\u2019ll decide what that content will be soon, but until then I\u2019ll continue thinking about the design and styles I enjoy.<\/p>\n http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/ya2ocamv<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/y95ps462Oh What to do, what to do for my blog?
