This was an interesting experiment, and I had never undertaken such an operation before. I found that writing in a blog format was enriching and entertaining, with the multimedia aspect making the writing much more lighthearted and engaging. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.writersdigest.com\/online-editor\/the-12-dos-and-donts-of-writing-a-blog\" target=\"_blank\">The overall process<\/a> went something like this: The first thing I did was completely rewrite my into. This was to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> grab the reader&#8217;s attention<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-34 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/nmiller\/files\/2016\/03\/attention-grabbing-flyer.jpg\" alt=\"attention-grabbing-flyer\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/nmiller\/files\/2016\/03\/attention-grabbing-flyer.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/nmiller\/files\/2016\/03\/attention-grabbing-flyer-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>,\u00a0as well as to try and connect with the audience in a way that a normal paper does not have. I wrote the intro with a first person tone, so that I could appeal to the reader as a person, not just as an argument.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In order to have a successful blog, the spacing of the words and multimedia aspects are vital. To make my paper a more efficient blog post, I not only filled it with hyperlinks to differing websites related to the subjects I was talking about, I also included some <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">visual cues<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to allow the reader to better understand what was happening in the arguments I was making.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/nmiller\/files\/2016\/03\/Grab-audiences-attn-300x277.jpg\" alt=\"Grab-audiences-attn\" width=\"174\" height=\"161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/nmiller\/files\/2016\/03\/Grab-audiences-attn-300x277.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/nmiller\/files\/2016\/03\/Grab-audiences-attn-325x300.jpg 325w, https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/nmiller\/files\/2016\/03\/Grab-audiences-attn.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 174px) 100vw, 174px\" \/> I also changed the formatting of the essay, mostly by shortening the average paragraph length, to make it a more manageable piece of literature for a casual blog reader to not get bored by. In conclusion, in order to make my essay a work more suited to be a blog post, I made fairly major changes to the<a href=\"http:\/\/wordtree.com\/blogging-tone-voice\/\" target=\"_blank\"> tone and style<\/a> of the writing, but managed to leave most, if not all, of the arguments content undamaged.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello again readers, Today I am going to be discussing the experience of transforming an essay I wrote into my previous blog post.
