One Final Blog
When I starting thinking of my topic for the blog to write about for eight weeks, it was challenging. I thought about my kids, experiences in the past growing up, many things that would make me last. Wood splitting which comes to me natural, because I grew up around it, was the perfect topic to write on. Although I did not know what I was getting into for a whole semester.
The hardest part was to get other classmates to understand what my concept was behind logging. Many New Yorkers think that logging is something which people use to hook a chain up to a log and pull it out of the woods. My whole mindset behind this topic was for better understanding for what you could do with the logs. The main idea was cutting up the logs into chunks and then splitting them for firewood. Talking about many other things that could be done with logs like, building log cabins or cutting into lumber to build houses was for another time.
There is many things that are involved with firewood, so I considered it to be the perfect subject to discuss for this course. Some things that were hard, because blogging is new to me was simple stuff like adding pictures, unless my computer is different, signing on at times on my home computer, and most of all typing it so classmates would know how to do this if the day should arise. Wanting to keep it simple enough and not to the point of confusion, was my whole objective. Other than what I am trying to say now, it was an new experience which will go in the “tool box“, or keep in mind for the future. Also while taking this course, it was brought to my attention that my brother has a blog site which surprised me. I went to the site and found more pictures than anything, so it did not help any on my part. Great information I learned through my brother’s/classmate blogs.

That's both funny and cool that you found your brother's writing online.
You state that your main idea was to give readers a better understanding of what to do with logs, such as cutting and splitting. But what then? You meantion that building homes was for another time, so that means you probably limited yourself a bit much because focusing on the process of breaking down the wood left little time for what we'd really do with the wood beyond heating, right?
Julie,
Yes, I did not want to go to far into a tangent. I believe that would have been a different topic altogether. My brother's wife wants me to comment and help them now with what I know about blogging. I feel now like I learned something. That's cool... Thanks!
