My opinion on blogs? one might ask. Well i for one personally enjoy reading blogs i find it to be an fun and exciting. I could go on for hours and hours reading all sorts of blogs! However upon reading some id say that not all blogs are the same. From my personal experience i found out that some blogs are completely and utterly terrible. For example, This blog "I love Charts" http://ilovecharts.tumblr.com/, That blog was confusing in many ways it only had poorly drawn photos and then he goes on taking about about pens. The biggest problem is finding the right blog for you because there are tons of blogs that can just be spam.

Notes, writing, diagrams, and index symbols by Walter Benjamin
Alan Wall’s reflections on Benjamin:
Of all writers Benjamin was the most aware of the technologies that made writing possible. Although there had been ‘reservoir pens’ of one sort or another for centuries, the nineteenth century delivered the first true fountain pens (and a little later ball-point pens). These eliminated the need for the nib to be kept in close proximity to an inkpot, thus making the activity of writing more itinerant. And Benjamin was certainly an itinerant writer, writing in apartments, libraries, cafes and bars. He carried his pens and his notebooks around, as he often did copies of some of the images that most engaged him. He was a mobile intelligence unit moving through the streets of a city.
On his notation system for The Arcades Project:
[Benjamin] attempted “to integrate the principle of the montage as an epistemological technique.” Color charts, schemata, and diagrams act as guiding principles to navigate the thicket of excerpts and quotations. Benjamin’s personal color-coding shows an attempt to make order within the vast constellation of his own notes—a tension between an impulse toward structure and the potential of the open field of his interests.

When discussing other blogs, i found put that that ive learned that some blogs are great and entertaining for example," a little announcement…" By the lazy travelers http://thelazytravelers.com/a-little-announcement/ , I found out that i enjoyed reading this blog it was was both fun and entertaining. There are still interesting blogs to find, and still interesting people are devoted to this form of media while others just have a bunch of free time on there hands.
Well that's that on my opinion on blogs and blogging
Carlos--Pretty good blog so far. You have some good points and topics for discussion, good visual support, and your personality is starting to show. All good. Keep working on developing your analysis further to create greater significance for your audience. Don't be too brief because your reader may take that as you not being very interested in your own topic/writing.
