Thing #4
Blog language varies from informal & chatty to professional & academic. I found my attention or focus would drift missing the point of the conversation as I plowed through the many entries. Reading blogs requires a new set of skills-a set I do not have at this time but will need to develop. The main point of the blog conversations seems to shift and a few digress (makes me think of the epic form with its many voices and many digressions and many catalogs). As I create this blog, I am writing my way into meaning. What do I know or how much do I not know? A "blog literacy" is developing with a set of skills and strategies.

I find it's easier to keep focused when it's more casual. The blogs that have pictures or use different fonts help too.
