18.11 ‘What Makes a Blog a Blog’ Reflection

https://750wordsaweek.wordpress.com/

The author Mentioned the virtualisation of writing. I can easily know that to he, blog is more about the writing. And he talk about he has experimented quite broadly with writing

e.g. short stories poems, essays, lectures, Blogs, songs, art writings (which may require elucidation on another occasion), and also using different technologies of writing,
e.g. fountain pen and paper (ruled or unruled), writing on a scroll, on scraps, on A4 sheets, on a typewriter, through a carbon sheet, writing on various generations of computer etc.

I think the basics of blogging include text and images, sometimes with music and video. For Paul text is his mainly content. But for me the image is main content. This includes the rapid development of modern society, pictures are a very good medium to convey more information, and text is more used to explain pictures in my blog. Everyone has their own favorite way of record. It will also be recorded in different ways depending on the content.

For example, I said that my picture accounts for more
But sometimes my content also includes article writing thinking, it must be text-based.

So what kind of way to record and then display it in the blog is also very important.

But another important influence on the style, tone and ultimately on the content of my Blog (and Blogs in general) is something to do with the sense of the audience for them, which is, a kind of mythical ‘everyperson’ of the Blogosphere or Webosphere.

In this sentence, I think it is really important that we know the positioning of our blog. For example, some people are for commercial propaganda, some are their own hobbies, and then about the audience, some people hope that the audience can learn from this, and some people hope to be able to communicate with the audience. Generate communication interactions. These purposes or positioning to having a blog can be single or multiple choice.

Five Steps to Craft a Blog Content Strategy

This guide will be divided into five steps:

1. Define your goals.
2. Perform some target market research.
3. Come up with topic ideas and keywords to target.
4. Create a content calendar.
5. Build amazing content.

Quick preface: A good blog content strategy should answer three questions:

• Why are we making content in the first place?
• What content do we need?
• How do we get that content to accomplish our goals?

• How does this benefit my target audience?
• What value does it bring?
• How will this help me achieve my goals?

I don’t have to think about what I should write or what content is popular, because my main purpose is to improve myself and enjoy myself during my study practice. The content is not just about my own work, but also includes some interesting stuff/work (e.g: Netflix, YouTube) from different aspects in order to enrich my thinking.

For Paul he care about interaction with the audience. But for me, blog is more about Record, Thinking, Learning, Analytical, Reflection and Share. At the same time, I will show my audience the process of my practice and the process of thinking. It’s also very good if it can bring them harvest. But more is a self-improvement similar to a diary to look at own gains and works with critical thinking.
