My Blog/Blogosphere Essay

My blog was created with the concept of addictions. I had planned on devoting my blog to things that I had found addicting and I manage to in the most part. I found websites and video games that keep MY attention and keeps it for long periods of time. You can ask my girlfriend. Call of Duty is the devil as far as she is concerned. I tried to make my blog aesthetically pleasing by adding a Batman: The Dark Knight template, a popular movie by anyone’s standards.
Later, my blog turned into a plug center for my videos that I wanted to get views for on my Youtube page. Whether or not that was the reason my video now has over ten thousand views is no matter. I also fell victim to needing posts due to grade issues and maybe put down some “thrown together” blog posts just to get something on the page for my grade.
I could not decide between two posts as my favorite. The first being the blog post about a site called Sporcle.com. I had just heard about the site the day I posted on the blog. I think this made it easier to post and easier to roll with it. I was so excited about the site and just let that excitement flow into the blog post. Being in moods really adds to your blog posts. People can tell what mood you are in through your page.
The second post I thought was tied for the best was my blog about my top ten favorite shows. I think I posted it on a Tuesday so I did not even need a blog post. The post kind of just came to me. I was watching Arrested Development and was thinking about how many people probably didn’t even know about the show. It was on for three seasons. So, I thought I would get the word out and not just about Arrested Development but also about some of my other favorite shows. I have so many. I like this blog post because it, more than any, gives a close look at myself and my personality. I think you can really tell a lot about a person from which shows they watch. The list included a balanced mix of serious and comedic shows.
The blogosphere, to me, completely makes sense. It is right there in the name. BlogoSPHERE. Spheres are circular and that is exactly how I think the blogosphere works. Blog sites and blog rolls create an inner connective community. Blogs are so open that anybody can drop in, read, and share. You don’t need a membership or any money. It is an online journal that you want other people to read. It is a site all your own where you are in control and you say what matters. I don’t know the facts, but I think you can probably follow a blog roll through to reach almost anybody and then trace it all the way back to your blog. The circular properties coming back into play.
