Why Blog??

In my first post I stated why I blog. I said something to the like of “Maintaining this blog will provide me with new challenges and networking opportunities. I will share my stories, challenges and little known secrets; along with an eclectic mixture of Journalism”. Today, a friend of mine asked me (you can find her at Alease Michelle)…Why Blog? Why should anyone blog?, but more importantly Why should a fashion student blog?

Well, after a brief search on my trusty pal Google; I found an individual that goes by the name of Richard Bejtlich. I found his answers interesting ant this is what he had to say,

-Blogging organizes thoughts.
-Blogging captures and shares thoughts.
-Blogging facilitates public self-expression.
-Blogging establishes communities.
-Blogging can contribute original knowledge faster than any other medium.

I thought his answer where pretty to the point…don’t you? This response can go for anyone who likes to post daily, weekly or even monthly entries; I believe we all can relate. SO, a fashion student would fall inside those boundaries.

However, the purpose of a blog is needed. Blogging is a form of marketing so I see it as a product. For instance, when I first set-up my blog a subject was needed. I choose to be eclectic hence “The eclectic life of a college student”. I also wanted my reader to know me on a personal level hence about me page and a various dairy entry. Next, I set goals for myself to post at least twice a month, however events held me from sticking to them.

I have one more blog I would like to share. On another search performed on Google came across a blog titled I am Fashion. This blog allows fashion students from anywhere to post about random fashion thoughts. I found this pretty interesting considering it's all about fashion. I’m not too sure how you access entry to post, but I will further my research share it with you later.
