Blog for "Guide to Blogging" questions

The actual instructions for blogging and the project that I am working on are connected greatly to the ideas about reading discussed in class. I learned with poems to always read the poem several times so as not to miss the many meaning within a poem. In relation to blogging and the blog project I can certainly say that I always make sure what I blog is relevant to what was either written or stated and that I should reread what I blogged so as to see if there is anything unclear for the readers of that blog. Another connection would be to critically read the text or poem so as to see deeper meaning to to the text or poem so I can then critically discuss what was read in text or poem within the blog and blogging project. The ways that blogging has extended my reading process is to not casually read texts or poems. Anyone can do that, but the critical and extensive readers always find the deeper meanings within a text or poem that would not have been known had the text or poem been read casually. Another way blogging has extended my reading process is to put my thoughts about the text or poem into written words. Granted blogging what I think about a text or poem is going obviously put my thoughts into words but I have learned that blogging or writing out what I think about a text or poem seems to help me gain a better understanding of the text or poem. I have been able to make this work wonderfully for me since I do not normally write out what I think or feel about a text, let alone paint about what I read. I think blogging about what I read and even painting about what I read absolutely helps me read the Bible in a new light because if I journal or write on what I read within the Bible my understanding of the scripture improves to the extent that I notice new and exciting things about the character of God and Christ, which ultimately strengthens my faith in Him.
