Enthusiast blog reflection #3

The enthusiast blog project winds down. It's a little sad. I hope I keep up with my zombie blog. The articles we've read, and actually starting a blog that is intended to be read, have helped change my opinions on blogging. It's true that most blogs just float around in a murky puddle that we call the internet, never really breaking the surface, eventually growing so saturated that they sink to the bottom and meld into the sediment, but I now have the right attitude about it. I don't have to feel that a blog is a hopeless waste of time that no one will ever pay attention to. I was blogging (the few times I had done so) for myself, thinking only of myself and the attention I would get. With my zombie blog however I'm blogging for others, as few as they may be, and I'm blogging for the sake of the topic. I share my knowledge on any subject as it becomes pertinent to others, not whenever I feel like it trying to make myself look good; nor do I forget things that I know simply because I cannot get anyone to listen to me. The importance of knowledge is sharing it. And here with this blog, I'm leaving my knowledge in good context, with hopes that will help others see zombies the way I do, as fun, unusual, and unhampered.
