Bloggers' Talk

Last Tuesday, Cheyser, Aidx and I went to USEP to talk about blogging for my aunt's Introduction to Mass Communications class. We were a package deal since no one wanted to do it alone! And it was all our first time to give a blogging talk! I talked about the technical side of blogging--how to start a blog, blog hosts, kinds of blogs, etc. Aidx gave tips on blogging and photography, while Cheyser shared her experiences and benefits of blogging.

At first, Cheyser and I were terrified! We both hate public speaking. (I fear that people won't listen, so I find writing more comfortable) Aidx, on the other hand, is a mass comm student so it's a given. He is supposed to be outgoing! Haha. We even thought we'd just stay for an hour, but we ended up talking for the whole 2 hour class! So, hooray for baby steps toward conquering our fear of public speaking!

Thank you to my tita's class for having us and for being such great listeners! :)

How To: Blogging Tips

I've been a serious blogger for about 5 months only, since I started taking care of my blog back in August. I have to say, a well-kept blog opens doors to a lot of opportunities (Hello, SOUL Lifestyle job! :) ). I know a lot of people who have blogs but feel that they don't get the opportunities they think they deserve. I also know people who do have blogs but wonder why they lack followers. Well guys, the answer may be that you don't maintain your blogs well.

I've been reading a lot of articles on how to maintain your blog to look professional and I've added some of my own observations to the mix, being someone who reads blogs leisurely and *ehem* professionally.
