Digital Media 11 Journal



Creating a blog in WordPress was very easy.  The instructions were clear and very easy to follow although the process of creating the blog was relatively self-explanatory. Creating a blog in Learner Blogs and Blogger was also very easy.  The instructions were easy to follow and the process was self-explanatory. In Blogger, Learner Blogs, and WordPress allow you to control comments and they also allow other users to post on your account in their own name.  The blogs also allow the user to control who sees the blog.  If I were going to have students set up a blog, I would choose WordPress.  Although Blogger and Learner Blogs are good blogging tools, I prefer WordPress because it is more professional.  Unlike WordPress, Learner Blogs is used primarily for educational purposes.  In addition, it is relatively easy to create a blog and it contains more features and customizability.  WordPress contains better themes and the user interface looks better.  Also, compared to Blogger, WordPress is more complex.  If I were to help a student set up a blog, if the student wants to use the blog for educational purposes like schoolwork, I think that WordPress, Learner Blogs, and Blogger are good sites for blogging.  However, I believe that creating a blog in Learner Blogs would be more appropriate because the site was made for educational purposes.  If the student were to blog about their personal life or topics related to that, I believe that WordPress or Blogger would be good blogging sites.  If the student is planning on making a blog for making professional purposes like a formal profile or a blog for a job or company, I think WordPress would be a good choice because it has more features and customizability.  Overall, I found that creating blogs with these sites was easy.
