Why You Blog

I wanted to let everyone know that….this is it! After compiling, coding and rereading all of the wonderful thoughts and stories you have all contributed to this blog, I have started writing my thesis! With all of your thoughts as the framework is it going to write itself!

I just wanted to thank you and tell you how much I truly appreciate you participation in this incredible experience. Check in for updates, perhaps more questions, and then at the end a link to the final product!

Thank you again bloggers!

It seems important, in terms of creating a dialogue amongst bloggers, the we synthesize our thoughts and feelings about what a blog is into one coherent definition. The internet is littered with technical and personal definitions. As this is a wordpress blog, I thought it would be interesting to include the wordpress defintion of blog, which is short to ‘weblog’ and is a term originally coined to describe a website used as a personal log, or journal. They note that most blogs include a way for readers to comment on what has been posted.

Is this your definition? Do you define blogging in terms of an online diary of sorts? Is it a marketing tool? An online fluid resume? Do you have multiple blogs that you define differently? Is it even important to define what a blog is as long as what the blog is about is clear enough for potential readers?

This is just a test post to get things going.
