The purpose of my blog Vinardos World is twofold. The first of which was obviously for this class. This was the whole reason that I started the site. But after getting into it I found that I can use this blog for whatever I want. I have mostly stuff from class posted in my site but in the future I will use my site as forum for talking about anything that I think important to me. This is the nice thing about having your own blog, you can talk about whatever you want because it is your own site. I think I could try and make this blog touch on more serious topics that are occurring around the world and add my spin to it. I like to think that I have a point of view on most things that some people may not have thought about. Just getting this blog started was a great experience and although now it is mainly a reflection of my school work I hope to make it much more very soon.
The basic design of my blog was somewhat of work of progress. Originally I selected a template that was black and gray and at first glance I thought it was cool. After making my blog and seeing it as a real site I didn’t think that it had any pop. This is when I decided to change the template and the color scheme of my site. I then went to template that was much more colorful and had more graphics in it. The use of color is an easy way to direct the eye, with my original bland colors the eye made nowhere to be drawn to so that is why I made the switch. I also changed the formatting of the site to add my own information about myself since it is my blog. I thought it would be important to add this since people probably want to know who is writing what they are reading.
The content of my blog has mainly been about the course work assignments from our class, so it has mostly been about communication. This is fine for me because it is a way to get started in this blogging thing. Now that I have a solid understanding about blogging and how it is done I think I might venture out with my blog. In the future the content of my blog may shift. I enjoy talking about things related to communication but I also have an opinion on a lot of other topics as well. But whatever it is that I am going to talk about will most defiantly have my spin on it. I think this is the whole idea about the content behind blogging, personal opinion.
The audience for my blog thus far has been fellow students in class. In the future I hope to touch a much broader audience. I can see my audience being more creative and left wing. I am not very conservative and have a lot of opinions about the world that question authority and the systems that are in place right now. My demographic would be people as old as their late 30s to youngsters in their teens. At least these are the people that I hope to reach. But if you are conservative and love the system and don’t want to help anyone other than yourself then the things that I will write won’t be very appealing to you. I think it is important to take a stand for what you believe and make real affirmations about where you stand on certain topics. Be who you are and say what you believe and others with similar tastes will follow you, maybe you might even get some converters. All I know is that no one becomes famous blogging about being neutral on touchy subjects. Have an opinion take a stand and just be ready to back it up. Thanks this class was great.
