Blog Audit: Reflection

Doing the blog was really hard to do since I have never done a blog before. I was not sure what I should write or what I should do. I was having a hard time writing 300 words in some of the blog entries. I would take time and look over the lecture notes and decide what I could write the most on for a blog. I would even make notes while I was watching the lectures on what I would blog about. When the teacher would make a comment on an idea to blog about, I would do a blog about it. I would try to use reflections from our lectures for a blog too.

I wrote about my husband and me in my blog. Most of the material I thought was related to us and our relationship. I enjoyed the lectures and learning about relationships. I noticed that I talked a lot about when my husband and I first met. There are a few blogs where I would talk about my parents too, like when I was talking about addictions. I don’t think the nature of my entries really changed. I talked about my husband and our relationship in almost all of them.

After I started my first blog, I didn’t have a whole lot to say because I wasn’t sure what topic to write about. My first blog looks like I just put random things together and wasn’t sure what I was talking about. My second blog wasn’t very long. I couldn’t think of what to say when I was writing the blog. In this blog I used more terms from the class lectures. I could have gone into more detail about some of the topics in my blogs.

My third blog I was talking about my interview I did with my mom about past relationships. It was hard to write a blog about that week. I got as close to 300 words I could get. I think by my fourth blog I finally got use to finding something to blog about. I blogged the different types of dances my husband and I were before we got married.

I have noticed I don’t use a lot of the terms we use in class. I only use the terms when describing dances, conflicts, etc. It stays that way through the rest of my blogs. I think it took me a while to figure out how to incorporate the terms and use them in my blogs I was writing. I also had more to say about the things we were learning in class. I wasn’t having a hard time writing the blogs as I got use to them.

I have seen lots of ideas in my entries I could revise and make them longer or better. When I was talking about addictions I could have probably added when my husband and I were engaged. He would go to the casino all the time, I thought he had or was going to have a gambling problem.

Doing the blogs I got to see everything that happened or is happening in my relationship to my husband and we were able to talk about working on things or talk about what comes up in my blog.
