Should I do a review too?

The students in the class are all doing a review of an electronic writing space or writing tool, and I've been toying with the idea of doing one myself. Mine won't be as intensive as theirs since I'm not being graded, but I find the idea of doing a review along with the rest of the class exciting. Cathy taught me a new term on Tuesday: WOT (wall of text). I will admit that I am guilty of producing blogs that are these. I still consider the blog in the sense of an online journal, and I've never included photos in my paper journals so the idea of making the blog more dynamic and aesthetically pleasing by including pictures, videos, etc...didn't seem very important. But now that this blog is for the public's eyes, I need to spend less time producing WOTs.

I first learned of Posterous through a friend, and when I was working on the list of e-writing space/tool, I thought this site would fit this unit. I made an account on Tuesday, and now am proud owner of a Posterous account. The page is empty at the moment, but I plan on cluttering it soon. My goal this semester, regardless of which writing space I use, is to post more pictures, embed more links, and in every sense of the word, make the page more alive.
