It seems like every blogging service is the same; you make an account, write about stuff and post it. I didn't choose Blogger because I thought it was better than every other blogging service. In a class I have taken in the past, I have used Wordpress for posting comments about video as well as posting youtube videos that I made myself. In addition, I also became familiar with other blogging sites like Xanga and LiveJournal. So, out of curiosity, I decided to make a Blogger account because it's one of the services I have yet to use. So far nothing has surprised me, but I'm interested in finding out the different features of Blogger compared to the other services.
People have many different opinions about blogging. To me, it greatly depends on the person. During high school, everyone in my class had a Xanga account. Many students were obsessed and posted everything about their day and whatever problems they were having (relationship problems, issues with teachers, how much their life sucks, etc). However, the biggest problem is that all these entries are available for anyone to see. You never who might be viewing your page. In other words, it is an online diary in which anyone can see and post comments on.
On the plus side, blogs are great for posting updates about things other than what's going on in your life, things that are not personal. By not revealing personal information, you are protecting yourself greatly. For example, if you're a Bears fan, you can write articles about game predictions, player stats, how they match up in their conference, etc.
A am a huge football fan, so I plan on writing a lot of entries relating to the sport. Here is a list of websites I plan on using for future posts:
