Lesson 2 - "What I learned from teachersfirst.com"

This is my first experience with blogging. Through teachersfirst.com I learned that 1) a blog is an online diary that is visible to everyone. Blogging can be quite useful, especially for me, while I'm living overseas. This will allow me to write the events of my day so that friends and family can see what I've been up to. Another thing learned, that I didn't realize was, a blog is similar to Facebook. 2) A blog gives you the capability of posting pictures and the ability for your readers to comment on what was written. Also, I found it interesting that 3) people get paid to blog. One of my favorite features I learned about blogging would be 4) the informal style of writing which is used. Informal writing, I believe, is more personal.
