On Tuesday, Kurt Hochenauer of the popular political OkieFunk blog came and visited our class. OkieFunk is described as "...a blog of populist and liberal information and ideas, advancing the cause of truth and justice while fighting the ugly tyranny of right-wing oppression in Oklahoma and its surrounding environs."
While I don't necessarily care about politics, nor do I have any idea what the above statement means, I thought that "Doc Hoch" was very interesting. He said that his blog had a lot of hits during 2008, probably due to the election, and that he keeps his blog posts organized in an easy-to-find archive so that he could be easily cited.
One thing that I would change about his blog is that I feel like the format is way too much. I like things simple and clean, and with his blog I felt that there was way too much stuff to look at and it was a little overwhelming.
Basically what I took away from this is that for one to be successful in blogging, they need to be passionate about their topic, but also knowledgable.
That is all.
The title of this blog almost made me laugh out loud! Also, I had no idea what to take away from last class.
