Sunny is Great

“Oh! this this the post that you were talking about haha. Well, i have to agree with you Sophia (and Soo). I dislike cluster maps as well… In fact, right now i do not have a cluster map not because i wanted to get rid of it (or maybe i was lol) but because i had this problem with my blog and had to start it over. For some reason, or obviously, i am relieved with the cluster-map-less blog, so i am thinking of not having it at all…if it’s ok…
About the voice issue…hmm i think i don’t really have that issue since i do whatever i want to do and talk about whatever i want to talk about. I am a complete blabber in case you may have not noticed, but i think ‘voice’ is really important, and think that the whole point of having a blog is to find your own voice. Boy is this comment long lol.”

This was my comment on Sophia’s blog. I first will apologize for my type o. It’s supposed to be “Oh! this is the post…”

Since blogging has become included to our English curriculum many of the students’ territory of concern expanded to the world of blogs. I personally like blogging. I am a complete chatterbox so i like chattering in the form of writing as well. But I realized that there were few problems with blogging in this blog.

First of all, the cluster map. I do not necessarily think that the cluster map signifies anything, but it is sure disappointing to see ‘0′ for the number of visitors. As a result, even though i try not to pay attention to the cluster map i find myself clicking on my never changing cluster map almost everyday. Now, as I explained above, i do not have a cluster map, and i am happy…(er).

This leads to my next problem: the problem that i sometimes get conscious of the fact that this blog is watched. Although i really write freely how i feel and what i want to talk about i find myself worried when i know that my blog will be checked. Or am i supposed to be conscious?

Also, i have random periods that i get incredibly blogicious and times that i just completely forget about my blog, so when the blog checking day unfortunately coincides with my un-blogicious timing, it is very hard for me to write.

I was quite surprised after i learned that many of my friends were suffering with the issue of having a voice because i don’t think i really have a problem with this…although i don’t know if i have a distinctive voice or not. I think that this problem mostly happens because people know that they are being checked. Moreover, i thought that this can be quite an important issue because, at least for me, i thought that having a blog was to help you form your own voice and to hear others’ voices as well. I thought about the solution and i thought that maybe…really maybe…it will be better to have random, unannounced blog checks although i know that this will face great fulmination.
