Blogging is an informal way to voice one's opinion. It is available to everyone through the World Wide Web, and can be very useful to the working population, students and everyone in between. There is no "right" way to blog, and no formal outline to follow. Many people use titles or headlines to begin their posts, and some even include pictures and video clips. In all instances, each blog post introduces or supports an argument.
From the blogs that I read for our first assignment, I learned that fact and fiction may both be presented to the reader. One should not mistake any blog for the undoubted truth. Some blogs are meant to inform the reader, while others are just intended to entertain. The first blog I read, entitled Critical Observations of Health, Science, and the Physical Therapy Profession, used YouTube videos and sarcastic remarks to get a laugh out of their readers. I visited the sight with the mindset that it would be a serious, informative blog about new findings in the P.T. field, and was rather suprised to find the comical approach used by the author. It was entertaining, but I was hoping for more. The second blog I read, Bob Flounders on Penn State Football, used factual information to support the author's arguments. Flounders voiced his opinion on Penn State's biggest weapons and the team's biggest opposing threats, then gave supporting data to back his claims. Being a Penn State fanatic, I enjoyed this blog. Flounder's writing style was simple and to the point.
