posting mastery (8A)

               First ill start by defining what I think goes into a good blog. One of the most important things in a blog is flow. It has to have a beginning middle and end. The sentence order should make sense and not switch topics without a transition. Second is the relevance. Every part of the blog needs to relate and build on whatever the topic is. For example if you need to talk about mastery you should not talk about sleeping, because I’m pretty sure everyone has mastered sleeping. Lastly is the personal touch. A blog after all is a personal writing so you shouldn’t leave out yourself. Whatever the topic of the blog, you should relate it to a quality or experience you have had. If an essay contains all three of these aspects then it deserves an A.

One post that contained these three aspects was http://garrettsblogs.blogspot.com/2013/10/7-b-failed-motivation.html . It had a clear opening and closing statement along with the “meat” in the middle. He was on-topic and most importantly he related it to a personal experience.

A second post that deserved an A is http://deejellis.blogspot.com/2013/10/7b-college-so-far-nothing-but-failure.html . In this blog she not only relates college to herself but herself to other people which I really liked. Secondly she had goo order in that she started by saying what was happening and ended by saying what she was going to do. Lastly it was relevant to the topic she was asked to blog about.

While there are many good blogs and many styles of writing blogs I think that the three basic principles of flow, relevance, and the personal touch are the key to a great post. While it is not very difficult to include these three aspects, it is harder to do them successfully. Those people who post like this post like masters.
