Last year, I graduated Whitehouse Institute of Design and decided to start my own blog and it's going great so far. However, having read a thread on copyrighting student researches and an article posted on the thread ( http://www.theguardian.com/higher-education-network/blog/2013/dec/04/academic-blogging-newspaper-research-plagiarism ), I started to think about the pros and cons of blogging for students.

On the one hand, you have the opportunity to reach vast audience while blogging. To put your thoughts, your views and beliefs in front of a vast audience and test your theories. On the other hand, copyright laws in the blogosphere are still a grey territory and no one would guarantee that your work will remain your own.

So, my question is: Have you tried blogging? Do you think it's something more students should try? Any thoughts are welcome.

I tried blogging but neglected my blog pretty soon because maintaining it turned out to be a time consuming thing to do. The range of tasks for a student is overwhealming and optional blogging goes to the very bottom of the list of priorities.
