Week 2 Reflection

Activism and blogging go hand in hand.  Think about it - without blogs, thousands of giddy activists would be left voiceless without their online outlet for expression.  For my own activist blog, I plan to utilize a blog to raise awareness towards an issue of my choice.  The issue?  To be honest I am not sure, but once I am sufficiently inspired, I will use the knowledge I gained in today's class to form an engaging Activist blog.

Through our group's research, I have come to the conclusion that style is the most important part of any blog.  In my blog, I plan to choose a style and stick with it.  From my page layout to writing voice, I plan to maintain a consistent writing method.  In every successful blog I have read, the page layout and writer's voice do not waver between posts.  Rather than adjusting my writing style from topic to topic, my voice will help personify the blog, developing the blog's 'pathos' through my posts.  Like I said in my earlier post; the writer's style determines the quality of the blog, so I plan to utilize my voice to the fullest - no matter the topic or audience.
