Thing 2: Blogs & Avatars

In Thing 2, we shall discuss my previous experiences with blogs, and my thoughts on creating this one.  We shall maintain an interview format, which I think helps with creating a more conversational dialogue.

"What previous experiences do you have with blogs, reading or writing?"

 I am an ardent reader of blogs---particularly political, philosophical, theological, and science blogs.  I don't really follow any particular blog or blogger, but rather follow certain topics and aspects of those topics. 

I had tried a few times to start a blog and consistently post on it, but I would always begin to neglect it after a few posts with little interest.

"How did you decide on your posting name and the name of your blog?"

I decided on my posting name because it is a "sophisticated" version of my name including my first initial, since I go by my middle name.  Joseph Roberts sounds more sophisticated than Kyle Roberts, but I prefer my middle name due to it being (slightly) more unique than my first.  Thus, I use J. Kyle Roberts, and did so for this blog.

"What was your experience in creating the blog? Was it hard for you or easy? Why?"

My experience in creating the blog was not very notable.  Since I had made a few (now defunct) blogs before, my experience in making this blog was rather quick, easy, and without anything worth mentioning.

" How does your avatar reflect your personality? Did you create an avatar that looks like your real self or someone totally different? Why?"

My avatar reflects my personality in his dress and appearance.  My avatar wears a nice shirt, tie, sport coat, and khakis, which are pretty much what I wear to work and school.  I like to present myself as clean-cut, sophisticated, and well-dressed.   I created my avatar to look like myself, because I want to present what I write in this blog as representative of myself. 

In conclusion, my experience with blogs is moreso on the side of reading blogs, and not so much with writing them.
