The blogging experience is not one I will quickly forget. It was nice, for once, to be able to talk about important things and not worry about sounding professional. It was great to solely write and have fun with it. I took a lot away from this experience too. I learned how valuable low stakes writing can be, how helpful it can be to generate a positive outlook on writing, and honestly I just enjoyed it (I may look into blogging more casually, and potentially have a professional one too).
I will be selecting my top blogs based upon the following categories: Professionalism, Design, and creativity. I then will select one of my Peer's blogs that I enjoyed overall.
"Tonight is the Dundies, the annual employee awards night here at Dunder Mifflin. [holds up a trophy of a business man] And this is everybody’s favorite day. Everybody looks forward to it, because, you know, a lot of the people here don’t get trophies, very often." -Michael Scott
Professionalism
What Young Writers Need
This blog really made me seem like a professional. It sounded like I knew everything I was talking about, and I felt that if someone read my blog they would have learned something. I kept jokes aside for this post and I believe it sounded the most professional out of all of my postings.
Design
My Writing Coach Profile
Design was something I never thought about. Design was something that came naturally. I plopped pictures in where they seemed to fit. This one used pictures to help the readers get an understanding of who I am. They added to the Blog instead of taking away from it.
Creativity
For me, creativity comes down to two things in blogging: voice and experimenting. For this blog I felt I fully utilized my voice in my writing. I was writing as if I were speaking. On top of this, I utilized pictures in meaningful ways that tied into things I was saying (mostly the dude yelling).
People's Choice
Armonte not only encapsulated every prompt with a strong sense of voice, but played the material through a different means. Armonte wrote through Lester, a mechanical mouse, that added a huge sense of individuality to the writing. I really loved what they did and it made their postings unique. I loved this writing Armonte and think you crafted a wonderful blog!
Honorable mentions:
Hey Dylan! I like your comment on your writing coach profile blog post. Reading through the striked sentence is quite hilarious. I would definitely relate to that as using a new platform and having to have every post be interactive, visual, and/or auditory took effort and creativity. - Jalousy

Hi Dylan! First of all, thank you for making the Dundee reference! Second of all, your striked-through text for design reminds me of Skim. -Krista
