Blogging 101

I was never much a fan of a diary or journal (whatever you would like to call it) because I would get upset when I did not update every single thing that happened to me. Blogger is a journal that provides an easy alternative to writing in a traditional notepad. My first introduction to this technology was in the process of writing our first blog posts about ourselves. Shortly thereafter we deleted this "faux" post but the use of the medium was very intriguing. Since that time, I have come to learn to use Blogger as if I have been using it to record my every thought for the past two years. Along with my introduction to Blogging, was introduction to the advertising medium through my internship at Deutsch LA.

Being the indecisive, overly enthusiastic individual that I am, I like to jump at all opportunities at once, without deciphering which one would provide the greatest outcome. In this case I decided to apply for an internship in a medium which I knew little about: Advertising. I understood the very basics of the profession, as I completed an Introductory Course on Advertising last fall, but the intricacies and the overall knowledge that others possess about their passionate career I lacked due to a late pursuit. That said, the research which I had to complete in order to discuss issues within Advertising intelligently was quite intensive but very rewarding. It was a crash course in what I want to do with the rest of my life, or at least for the next couple years of it. In the use of Blog, I realized just how much different aspects of Advertising are connected to almost every product and brand.

The use of Blogger opened my eyes to a new way of expression which is broadcasted to a large audience. In using this program I feel like I did a good job of finding information which was pertinent to the profession while also providing informative yet entertaining insight into the subject matter. One of the areas which I will have to work on is being a little more exacting with my time managing skills. Although I believe the articles I have written have fulfilled their purpose, sometimes they do not answer all of the questions which are posed. There is also a lack of fluid continuity between all of the paragraphs. Overall, my performance would be considered good but not excellent because it answered all of the questions but did not go over what was expected.
