My blog as a form of communication
I feel that my blog is a good way of communicating with other people in my group and getting my points across in a direct and literal way. It encourages people on the course to talk more as you are having to look and comment on everyone's blogs each week. This has lead to more friendships being formed as before this method of communicating you may have never spoken to that person on the course before.
My audience is obviously the rest of the people off my course and my tutor who is marking my blog each week. My writing is similar to the way i would talk in an actual seminar, in that i'm not talking too formally but then im not talking in 'slang' or 'text' talk as i don't think this is an appropriate way of discussing issues in seminars no matter if it is online.
I don't think that im putting on a kind of 'self-image' as i feel that im talking just as i would in a real-life seminar. I try to get my ideas across in the best way possible with simple language that is quick and easy to read. In some ways i do feel that i am part of a 'blogger community', especially on the forum as we are all talking on there for the same purpose and i know that people will be interested in what i have to say as we are all studying the same topic.

i dont feel like part of the global blogging community, i think weve got r own MCC blog community going on, which is good because we all know what eachothers talking about and want to see everyones different opinions
i agree with you both i just feel like we are part of a media comms blogging community as we all understand and are familiar with the same topic and are interested in what other people have to say as it will help us understand more.
Lauren,
I'm really pleased that you seem to have had a positive experience of the blogs to communicate, and pleased that you've built up friendships as a result. That's good too, that you feel a sense of community.
all the best
Emma
