Welcome to the Wonderful World of Blog

Welcome International Students to Social Media

I’m looking forward to seeing your first blog posts.  As you consider your approach for your new blog you might want to check out these tips for your blog.  http://www.problogger.net/archives/2005/12/30/tens-tips-for-writing-a-blog-post/

In addition, to these tips, there are a couple of approaches that you can take with your blog.  First, it can be a personal outlet or journal approach, in which you simply share your personal insights and experiences.  As international students you are likely experiencing new things every day.  This would be a great way to document and share your experiences. 

The second approach is to become a “subject matter expert”.  This means that you focus on a topic, it can be related to your major, to business, or to a personal interest or hobby.  With this approach, your blog becomes a tool for you to  share your insights and experiences on this topic.  You can also help readers by sharing some helpful information on the topic and help direct them to other sources and current events  surrounding this topic.

The important thing is to have fun with it.  It should be enjoyable and bring you a sense of satisfaction.  Writing about a topic that you are truly interested will convey your enthusiasm and passion to the reader and this is what makes following your blog interesting.
