Discussion two ;)

Hmm.. How can blogging improve writing skills?

Well in my opinion the fact that bloggers are able to document their thoughts on to "blank canvases" helps them develope their ideas better. Here they are given opportunities to write anything about whatever they please.

I believe that blogging is a form of self-expression and this is further enhanced when individuals are given the freedom to express themselves as mentioned earlier. Now is that not a type of writing skill? Is creativity not a skill needed to write well? Blogging is certainly a platform for individuals to be creative!

Aside from that in blogs there are functions such as "spell checks" where individuals are able to insure that the message they want to get across is clear. This is accomplished through proper spelling! Yes yes I know Microsoft Word had a spell checker as well but with Microsoft Word you aren't able to publish what work you've come up with. With blogging it is a whole new experience all together which makes it so much better. Having spell check on blogging sites is indeed very convenient, PLUS as mentioned earlier this function is able to ensure that any such person types out or documents their thoughts in perfect spelling!
Plus I would like to conclude with one final point. With blogging individuals are given the liberty to express themselves in a way that they can't anywhere else. Why you ask?

Well if you notice blogs don't penalize (- - - -) * note how these lines show up every time there is an error in the text typed on Blogger* the use of trailing dots for example. In todays modern world theses "dots" are a channel of self expression. It could mean that the blogger is either:

1) left speechless
2)has moved on to another topic
3) and more... (can't think of anymore right now!)

Blogging is a type of writing though more informal than anything else.

There you have it folks! These are my supporting arguments on ....... *note the use of trailing dots*

HOW BLOGGING IS ABLE TO IMPROVE WRITING SKILLS!

  1. 'Awesome' expression of your opinion. Would have been more awesome if supported by academic references.
    However, to your credit, i find the angle of discussion to be quite original.
