            Blogging and Web publishing are definitely new to me. I have some experience with image editing and graphics creation, but mostly limited experience there. I really like having different web resources as the home of the class as opposed to a textbook with an awkward class portal attached.

One web skill I want to improve on is not bookmarking itself, but going back to read the bookmarked pieces later when I have time.

Sometimes, we try to be too nice in the comments and never really make a suggestion that the author can act upon. I try to make sure I give feedback that offers up at least something actionable for the author, and if there isn’t anything I think needs to be changed I like to come up with ideas for where they might head next with their story or how they might expand it. I think I have been giving good feedback, and I have definitely been gaining new ideas for my own writing in the process. I do think there is a sense of getting to know someone by connecting with their blog, and I think mine portrays me well. In the future, I would like to be more responsive to my own comment wall, and incorporate more of their advice into my writing. I chose this image primarily because the pho...
