Monday's session was an instructional class on how to blog. Since I am not familiar at all with the blogging community, it was good to hear what Professor Littau had to say about it. The class really opened my eyes to the endless universe of blogging and the online communities that are formed as a result of it. Professor Littau covered all of the basics about blogging. He stressed the importance of blogging often, in order to captivate your audience. Additionally, he added that branding yourself through both your blog and twitter are two very important things for establishing yourself in an online community. You want to appeal to certain niches and allow your voice to come through in your posts, so that you can keep your blogs interesting.
The class ended before we could discuss twitter. I am looking forward to learning more about twitter, so that I can maximize the experience of tweeting this semester. Professor Littau encouraged us to add 5 local people to follow each day. This will allow us to have a better understanding of not the only the online community that surrounds us virtually, but of the local community that surrounds us physically.
