I never have really been into blogging. At first I thought it was just something useless that celebrities and teenage girls did. But through this process I did find it to be different then what I thought it was going to be. Blogging can be an important method to share academic findings and keep the community up to date on what you are discovering.

Blogging has helped with my research process by allowing me to write down what I am finding and how how I can connect it to what I am currently doing. I have been able to write out where I am and where I am going with my paper and plot out the end results. Keeping up with the evolution of my process has been easier due to the use blogging.

I did have to alter some of my original research intentions such as my inquiry question. My original topic was going to be how well does the FDA do at protecting the population from harmful substances we consume. But I found it hard to find information that was current. Many of the articles were published before 2000 and talked about the problems at the beginning when the organization was still young. So because I could not find any current information I had to change my topic to How does weight loss drugs affect your health and do they work? I have been able to find more information the the topic and different view and subjects. A lot of the information was surprising to me and I have grew in knowledge regarding my topic.
