The end is here: Your last post

Thanks to everyone for such a wonderful semester! We’ve gone from Twitter to BlogPulse to Quora, with several stops along the way. Through it all, you’ve blogged about the things you’ve learned in class and found ways to find your particular niche.

For your last post of the semester, share a quick post with the rest of the class your favorite part of blogging, your biggest challenge, and whether you think you’ll continuing blogging after the semester is done. Leave a link to your post in the comments section below.

Week Two: Blogging for You

Now that we’ve learned the basics of blogging, we can begin to think about how we listen to conversation and identify the online sites and communities most important to us and the issues we care about.

For your blog posts this week, think about how you can use other bloggers and online conversation to inform your content. Which blogs are you reading to help you shape opinions or learn information? Why are these sites important to you and what sort of “blog currency” do that have that you’d like to emulate? Remember that being a positive contribution to a blogging community means participating in conversation, linking to other blogs, sharing comments and content, and engaging in social dialogue.

Don’t forget to share a link to your post for this week’s blog entry prior to next week’s class in the comment thread below.
