my experience when i first created my blog
At first i didn't know what a blog was and i had to ask for assistance from my colleague.It was very hard for me because the person who helped me was not clear enough to make me understand the whole process.I started creating my email account because i didn't have one and i was told that there was no way that i can create a blog without an email account.I successfuly created my email and when it came to blog creation,things got more harder and i was starting to think that creating a blog is more harder than the power point presantation.I was not seriouse because i didn't know that it would count marks and i was planning to give up as there was no marks for me.I thought that the reason for having a blog was to keep my marks from the power point presentation but i was compleatly wrong.When i sighned in for the first time, the first step was confusing but latter i kept pressing the "CONTINUE" button until i came to the point that i successfuly created my blog.I was suprised knowing that i compleated something unknowingly.I started playing aroud my blog jast to make sure that i familialise myself with it.In the end, i was so happy that i was even able to help those who didn't also know what they were doing.
