YES! IT WAS WORTH IT! I learned so much about blogging and all the techniques and cool tools behind it. I learned how to create a survey poll on the side and then tailored my posts based on the responses (given there were only 3). It was a wonderful learning experience and now I feel like I could use my knowledge for future marketing in whatever I choose to do.
So what were the good and bad things about this experience? Well, all the things mentioned above are definitely positives. In addition, I learned a lot of useful information for my job. However, blogging was a time commitment I wasn't expecting. In the future I think it would be better if they were due Saturday at 11:57pm instead of Sunday at 11:57pm. I do like how lax the content of the blog posts can be. It is very nice to be able to write in your own voice about whatever you want and know that is going to be acceptable.
All in all I liked the assignment and who knows...maybe I'll continue this blog for fun now.
Happy trails on your road ahead wherever it may lead you :)
Thanks for the feedback. It's been great having you in class. You are a very impressive person and I think you'll do a great job at whatever you choose to do!
