In the article “Libraries as Spaces Between Us: Recognizing and Valuing the Third Space” the Author argues that many libraries have been replace thanks to the new technology that had been introduce for the last couple of years. Many libraries had to close due to the amount of isolation each one had since no one is using libraries anymore. Many authors of book state that this is because of how libraries look, they should re build them and make them look like a more comfortable place for young adults to enjoy.

response to “Sporting Safe in the Liminal Sphere:“Tactics” and Facebook”

I agree that Facebook is not a private sphere my main reason to think that way is because of the amount of information we all put in our bio: such as birthday, relatives, things we like, and much more. Another reason why I think Facebook is not a private sphere is because people want others to know what’s going on in their lives and they post comments or even pictures and that so that people can see, not only the ones you want but all people that look up your name has access to what you post and what others comment or even who likes or this new thing called “reaction”. Over the time you might regret posting something and you deleted but people already saw it and Facebook in general still has a copy or history of what we post and delete. In general I do have to say that any type of social media is not private at all.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
