Where’s your actual bio? I think if you are a responsible student you should be writing under your real name. Doing so encourages you to own your words – particularly when you are commenting on another person’s livelihood and online reputation, which those of us who write under our own names take very seriously.
Please pass that on to your instructor. Also, since you’ve taken the time to analyse my site in such a public way, I’d like very much to know what course this is for, where its being taught and who is teaching it – for the purposes of understanding what sort of criteria your instructor gave the class for blog analysis. I’m also interested in knowing if:
1. Your instructor has a blog
2. How long your instructor has been blogging
3. If your instructor is familiar with the history, figures and debates in blogging over the past 11 years
Feel free to have your instructor email me directly with answers to the above questions.
Thanks Melanie – this blog has been set up as part of my assessment for a first year university course.
I’ve deliberately chosen to remain anonymous, apart from providing the URL to my instructor and some fellow students. Based on my experience and refelections (and I think the tenor of many posts on your website), I think there are good privacy reasons for doing so.
But I don’t intend to use my anonymity to provide me with the scope to make comments without recourse, so I appreciate your feedback.
