1.2. Best Essay

Selection and Assessment: Which of those essays do you feel is the best that you've written this semester, and why? Please remember that a complete answer is better than a short answer, and give at least two reasons to support your assessment.
  • I feel the 4th review is the best essay this semester for me. The first reason why I feel like that is that I could introduce and share with people my experience in NZ. I had no chance to introduce and share till I wrote this essay. The second reason is that I could write having fun. Other essays were difficult to write, and I don't wanted to do that. But I could write what I wanted to tell. Therefore, the 4th essay is the best essay.

----------
* Current semester comments on essays and other posts
** Please list the most important qualities of comments on each type of blog post. That is, explain what makes them good comments.

2.5. Recent comments display

Does your blog display recent comments from blog visitors in a prominent location, for example in a sidebar, header, or footer widget? Where or why not?
  • My blog displays recent comments at the top of the sidebar because recent comments are renewed most frequently, I guess. If they are on the top of the blog, it is easy to look at them.

2.6. Additional reflections on comments

  • Commenting is good for me because if my classmates put a comment on my blog, it becomes my encouragement and we can share our opinions!

4.4. Overall presentation

What have you done to enhance the overall presentation of your blog? List and explain the three most important content, formatting, layout, or other presentation changes or enhancements that you have made on your blog this semester.
  1. ... I changed the template which is bigger one than previous one.
  2. ... I put many videos and photos to share the things I like.
  3. ... I tried to post almost everyday, I couldn't do that though... But I tried to post a lot.

5.0. Additional reflections on your blog writing

  • ... I like posting, but I don't like review, especially movie review. Therefore, I didn't write movie review at all except assignment (Shrek). Blogging is not hard for me because I could enjoy posting this semester, and I could post the thing I like such as bands and music.

6.0. Suggestions for your peers and successors

  • ... Well, the important things are trying to post almost everyday and starting book reviews early. You have no good topic? No, you do have good topic. Remember what happened the day, and enjoy everyday.
