Many things this blog has made me learn

Hi Rockers,

This week my post is going to be a little different. I want to talk about my experience posting every week, what that has meant to me and the things that I've learned. This blog was created to share information about music with whoever wanted to read it , to show new bands and not so new bands, to make you see different kinds of music and to invite you to listen to more unusual styles like japanese music or important soundtracks. Of course, I've learned many things about music, other bands the members of the blog group mentioned and other styles.
In my opinion, my colleages and I have learned a lot about internet and its possibilities. It's one of the most important sources of information and it allows us to share contents in real time. But it is important to perceive what information is valid and which is not. Posting every week has helped us to develop our skills when looking for information and rescuing important data to elaborate our publications. Internet is full of contents due to the freedom the user has, but many people just make up stories trying to catch our attention, so we must be often veryfying the veracity of the contents.

These posts also have served me to familiarize at the time of writing in English, to enhance the skills I already had and learn some new ones. It has allowed me to clarify certain issues and questions I had, and it has improved my ability to understand texts. My vocabulary and expression have improved this month with my grammar.

Of course it has made me learn more about the bands I've published about. Especially about its origins and influences, their problems in life and how they have overcome them. The members of the bands are just people like us, they have suffered in their beginings and were unknown as we are, but with effort and will they have reached their goals, and I hope they keep on doing it well.

Also posting every week has served me to know more about blogs. I had never posted anything, this was my first time, so I learned how its tools work. But it has made me visit other blogs too, so I've seen lots of kinds of posts, different quality levels and originality in many ways. It's been also the first time I've used hypertexts, a very useful tool which allows the conection between different sites.

To end up, this blog has made me make my first interview in english to a professional of the music world, which has been a very interesting experience. I had never made a serious interview, and now I've learned how to prepare one and how to get documented about the subjet first, which steps I must follow and which questions are appropriate and wich not.

In short, creating this blog has helped me to learn more about the Internet, its tools and possibilities, to learn about music and improve my English skills. I am studying advertising and public relations in the Faculty Of Navarra and in my opinion, for a communicator this knowledge is very important and allows a greater mastery of the sources of information, ways and means to express.
