I am not a blog fan in my everyday life, so creating a blog for this assignment was extremely challenging. I don’t read any blogs, thus it was difficult to even know where to start on creating my very own blog. I chose to set up my blog using WordPress because it is a hosted blogging platform. I knew that I was not going to be a blogger after this class, so I did not want to pay for my own unique domain name. I am a technical person and I thought I would have no problems using WordPress to create my blog. I have worked with content management systems in my career, so I thought WordPress would not be much different. Boy was I wrong. The WordPress interface is not very intuitive and the menu or dashboard is awful. It took me twenty minutes to figure out how to change my blog name. I created a poll, but I still can’t figure out how to display it on my blog. I did however figure out how to submit my first post.
