I've never tried blogging before but I accept this challange! I was "always" interested in the topic, therefore I wrote an 8-page-long essay on the difference between the old and new diary culture. I shortly introduced the "history of blogging" and the history of diary writing which goes back to the 17th century, when Samuel Pepys wrote his personal diary, which included detailed information of the London fire in 1666.
So why am I babbling about the history of diaries? If you're still awake after my first paragraph I kinda get the taste of blogging. No, I don't. I'm babbling about diaries because I'm a true believer of them. I have 4 or 5 little books at home, which are full of memories and thoughts. Now I see the guy-peers' face as looking strange while reading my blog-entry thinking 'what a girlish-romantic soul is she'. Apart from compulsory writing tasks at school I think I love writing but just for myself. Why? Because it's girlish stuff!!! Just kidding, but I believe that blog-writing reached a professional level these days as we can see the wide variety of them, so the judging of personal blog-entires and online diaries is not my task because it's far too subjective. I personally read some blogs - which I think became obvious for you after my presentations on blogs and blogging - but I don't write one because as you can see I easily take a private, personal tone, I start to speak about myself and at that very moment I become vulnerable, especially in the online universe.
SO, I think this entry satisfies the task "write your first blog-entry" but it doesn't provide an intellectual supply for you. I promise I'll try my best and find a concept for my entries. As the title suggest I just went with the flow of my Monday-afternoon-mind, which is quite tired and Mondayish!
Cheers!
P.S.: I think I will delete this entry after reading it again :D
