As part of a brief which I have been working through I was asked to research into blog sites and explain why I chose to use Blogspot.com as my blog of choice. Throughout my research I looked at the following websites:
- Blogspot.com
- Tumblr
- Wordpress
- Linked In
- Blog.com
- Penzu
- Square Space
The reason I chose to use this blog was for the following reasons:
- I found it easy to navigate around
- I could follow bloggers who's blogs I already looked at and took inspiration from
- It looks professinal
- Its ways to upload a post and add images to each post
- You can share comments of your thoughts to other bloggers
- You can track your viewers around the world and see how many views your blog receives per day or by week.
I feel the down sides of having a blog are:
- Its public so anyone can access and copy work which you have posted to your blog
- Future employees could access your blog and if you blog about personal life it could potentially cost you a job
- If you lead a busy life keeping on top of a blog could prove to be hard work so you will lose followers and the blog will then start to look unprofessional.
I think having a blog is a great way for people to view your work and also see your personality in the way that you blog because everyone adds their personality to their work and the way they write a post.
