Writing for the Web

My name is Maura Friedman and this semester I participated in a Writing for the Web Course. In reflecting on the pieces I'd created for this class, I realized a common thread- that of community- stitched it all together. This portfolio is a combination of that work and an exploration of that theme within the context of Tumblr. For a more in-depth explanation, see my post "Read Me First, If You Will."

Isn’t a blank page so intimidating?

Attempting my feature article for my journalism class in the Student Learning Center @UGA. Delightful distractions include: 

  • A boy whistling “Baby It’s Cold Outside” behind me
  • A girl giggling every few minutes while reading her novel next to me
  • The most beautiful French I’ve ever heard, presumably native, being whispered between a guy and a gal right in front of me.

I should probably leave for productivity’s sake, but it’s just too happy here. 

^ Although this post is old, it provides a great example as to how Tumblr’s structure can be used to post informative personal posts that aren’t too lengthy to fit into community norms, something that Marquart discusses extensively in her piece
