Best of Bloggs-Grayson Avery

Now not only is my blog about other people's blogs but it is also about procrastionation. I will honestly say i waited til the night before to do this, but I think that with doing so it brought out the best blog I have written so far. I am writing about peoples blogs that they wrote for this assignment about others blogs. After reading these articals I have noticed how people have been judging people's blogs and what they write about. The main person that sticks out in my head is Bradley King. He wrote his blog on a blog he had read about winnie the pooh. The main reason this sticks out to me is that, even though we are in college, and most of us are over the age of 18. It amazes me that some of us can still seem to find simple pleasures in life. now the blog he wrote about wasn't about just the show on but how it would be portaid now in this time and day. This article showed that a common name can lead to things people would never imagine.
Another topic that stuck out to me, was food and weight loss. It seems that most of the people that are blogging seem to have and absetion with how different foods will make you loose weight. I also noticed a lot of people choosing their friends blogs to write about, this made the articles rather boring when reading them. I also found it rather intertaining how many people wrote about blogs that were made up of mostly pictures. sure pictures are nice but we need to read every once in awhile. The last thing that i saw was the amount of blogs containing booze was extremely high. Now there isn't anything wrong with it but it was interesting to see the amount of people writing about beer.

After reviewing my classmates blogs I thought the blogs with the pictures were the best, the description of the pictures as well with the questions makes the blogs more interesting. Especially the pictures of the animals in stumble upon, those pictures were pretty interesting. I thought that the blogs with the pics were the ones that most stood out, and also brought out a WOW in me, I thought those were the best blogs and it gave more description as well as a visual to the blog, which makes those blogs the best. I have gained a lot of new topic ideas for my future blogs, I'm probably gonna write about the ones with the pictures cause I like those the best. Stumble is very helpful to me as a prewriting tool because it gives me new ideas to write about. Stumble has a lot of new and interesting ideas to write about, and I find it very helpful in my writing. Important elements in successful writing of essays in Helium and stumble give lots of new ideas, and good descriptions to help out in writing an essay. Helium and stumble are very useful tools with writing, and it seems that stumble upon is the most helpful, it gives pictures as well as descriptions to certain articles. Blogging is a very effective tool for my writing, it gives me new ideas and well as descriptive and very interesting ideas, and it makes it possible to share with all my other classmates what i have learned.

After reading the blogs that my classmates have posted I've learned a lot about each individual. I find the blogs to be interesting to me; I like to see what kinds of things grab my classmate’s attention. I've found a few blogs that are my favorite, one was posted by Taylor Scheetz, I always find her blogs interesting because she writes about things that I would probably write about in my blogs. I also think that Halee Hartley’s blogs are good because she when she blogs she always puts it in a format that makes you want to keep reading. Reading these different types of blogs it makes me see how I can improve my blogs the next time. When I do my blogs it helps when I write about things that catch my eye and by doing these blogs every week I feel it helps with my writing skills. I’ve read many of the blogs that are posted and after reading some of them it is obvious to me that my classmates think that staying within the topic and organization is the key to a successful Helium.

After read my classmates’ blogs I was surprised about how much I learned. There are so many interesting blogs. Stumbleupon has a lot of good articles that bring great information for us about many different subjects.
The one that like most was “Baby denied medical treatment and handed back to his mother to die”, wrote by Hartley. The baby was born at 21 weeks and the British law does not allow trying to save babies born before 22 weeks. So the baby died in his mom arms. It is a really sad story. Probably the worst thing in the world is to see your son dying. I can’t even imagine what his mother felt at that moment seeing the equipment that could have saved her son’s life right next to them but no one trying to do anything. I think this law shouldn’t exist. No matter how many weeks the baby was born early or how developed he is, who can, should help taking care of him.
I was also interested about the article that Bradley King wrote about Michael Phelps’ diet. That is amazing! I never thought that someone could eat this much. 12000 calories is ten times what most people eat every day.
I believe writing and reading other peoples blogs helped me a lot on these three weeks. I could improve my ability to write a little bit and I learned a lot about many different topics.

One of the most interesting blogs to me was the blog that I wrote on plastic surgery. I chose this as one of my favorites because it was a deep topic to get in to. I feel that plastic surgery is a major cause of some deaths. Anything could go wrong once you get on that table. From patients having a heart attack, to patients hyperventilating. Lots of famous people feel that these procedures are necessary, which is really wrong. These procedures are very deadly and should be well thought out before taking the step.
Another interesting blog that I’ve read was about the baby that was born to it’s mother at 21 weeks. This was really sad. What made me think a lot was the fact that the doctors didn’t try to save it. It must have been dreadful as a mother to watch her tiny 21 week old baby die right in her arms. I feel that the doctors should have at least tried to help the poor woman and her poor baby. This was blogged about by Halee Hartley.
Many people have given me ideas for future papers. I have agreed to try and stumble upon more intense websites, like instead of settling for the first few stumbles, I will search more harder and try to find topics that discuss news (world). I will also try to find more diverse sites, like about animals and aliens, so that I can write ore edgier blogs.
Using stumble upon is very helpful as a prewriting tool because it gives you tons of ideas and topics to write about, it also allows one to receive insight on why sources should be cited when doing a stumble upon blog. The most important elements in creating a helium according to my classmates is reading the article, and writing about the articles being sure to include major details about the article.
I think that blogging is very amazing. It has effected me in so many ways, it makes me appreciate writing more and it allows me to learn more about internet sites that I’ve never seen before.

Brittany Bowers- Best of the blogs!

As I read many of the blogs from my fellow classmates I noticed a good deal of things. Most of the posts were quite interesting, since they were using stumble, of course it was something unique. Stumbleupon has helped with prewriting because it opens your mind up to other ideas then just things inside the box. With stumble you’re able to see stuff in a random perspective, which helps you with prewriting. Emily Guenthner, I believe had a very good flow to her writing and good technique with a few of her writings. Also as I have been reading what my classmates have wrote, it seems to make a good successful paper for Helium you need a number of qualities. Of course those qualities would be: good technique, flow, grammar, and make sure you keep in line with your topic and don’t stay away to something completely random. As for blogging as a tool for writing and prewriting, I like it. Knowing that someone else is reading something I wrote about someone else (Or something else). Makes it interesting to me, for one main reason is because it makes me want to try harder at making sure all of my writing seems easy to read and interesting. Unlike research papers or any of the sort, because with research papers I tend to just unleash an unholy amount of listing. As I wrap this blog up, my last comments I would like to say about blogger and stumble, is that I believe they are an excellent prewriting technique for beginning or even experienced writers. It makes you open your mind to a more wide range of things that usually you would never ever think of.

The most interesting blogs to me was the blog about Michael Phelps and the blog about secrets your dentist does not want you to know. The blog about Michael Phelps caught my attention because it talked about his diet. He has a high calorie diet which is acceptable since he works out alot and runs it off. The blog about the dentist definitely caught my attention because you want a doctor or dentist who is very educated and knows what they are doing. The secrets that were listed shocked me. I am not sure if it was real facts that was stated but they do bring up a concern. Stumble is helpful as a prewriting tool because it allows you to get your thoughts across. As you look at different articles it makes it easier to compare one from another. The most important element of writing to create good essays in helium is to comparing the essays and making sure they have a good introduction and conclusion. Detail is also important in a good essay. Personally I think blogging is a good way to help you to respond to a certain essay or topic. It allows you to express your feelings about a certain topic.

"Best of the Blogs"-Bradley King

After reading through many of the blogs, the most interesting blog to me was Lauren Proffitts blog about the Reality of Winnie the Pooh. This blog interested me not because I am a die hard Winnie the Pooh fan, but what Lauren said in the blog. She stated in her blog how children are innocent. I agree with her to a extent. She then explains that if you tell an adult to put a bear, pig, tiger, rabbit, and a donkey together today that they probably would not come up with some nice child show as Winnie the Pooh. More than likely, and adult mind today would come up with something evil as the picture shows on Laurens blog. Another blog that was interesting to me was the blog about the baby that was born at 21 weeks. The article was about a British woman that had a baby at 21 weeks and the doctors just let the baby die. Because British laws state that babies born before 22 weeks are aloud no medical attention. But this baby only lacked two days of being 22 week. During birth the baby came out crying, and moving both arms and legs. This baby had a chance of living, but instead was left to die in its mothers arms. I think that this was a act of neglect and cruelty to the new born baby; that could still be living today if doctors would have just cared for the baby. After reading this article I gained a topic idea about writing on the broken laws that are found in our world. A law saying that you cannot give a baby medical attention when it has life is crazy. StumbleUpon is a great pre-writing activity that is easy to use. When you get assigned a topic to write on you can go on stumble and choose almost any topic you can think of. By using StumbleUpon you can find useful information about your writing topic by looking at it in many different views. According to my classmates one of the most important element of posting a good Helium blogs is to organize your thoughts well, were your readers are able to follow your ideas. So far I have really enjoyed using blogs as a type writing tool because unlike high school, us as students get to choose what we want to write about. Writing the blogs are helping me develop a interest in writing that I have never had before. I also think by writing blogs every week help me to learn the process of putting my thoughts in writing.
