To incorporate Blogging into my essay I have found a few parts of the book from my notes on the readings that I think would work well in supporting my argument and adding credibility and interest to my essay. The first quote I found that I can use is to quote the claim that "on the Internet, everyone is famous to 15 people" in my first body paragraph where I discuss how the blogger wants people to be impressed by him. This way I can use the quote as further evidence to back up my claim that he uses his blog to build an impressive self-identity. I can also use a quote about "dear diary" writing and how blogging is a social genre where people write to their audiences. That type of quote would probably fit best into my intro paragraph.
I'm a little relieved to have so easily found some quotes that fit into my essay because I usually take the opposite approach of finding some good quotes that support the argument that's in my mind and then building around them in my essay.
