Writing for the web is a new set of skills. Wondering how to make the shift? Interested in writing for a digital audience? Not sure about expressing your ideas and opinions in a public forum? This challenge is for you.
In this challenge, you’ll uncover differences in writing for the web, engage others in a dialogue, get up to speed on netiquette, and share your ideas. You’ll acquire instincts about web writing that will guide you as mediums and formats change.
With all of this research you’ve been doing--reading and responding to other folks’ blog posts, finding articles, etc.--find something that you’ve changed your mind about. A few ideas and examples:
Reconsider an earlier post you wrote for this Challenge. How do you apply the revised information? You might:

I'm good as it is. Here's the link to the post I've written If you'd like to read it: http://wp.me/p3inYw-2c. I already knew my way around blogging and posting. This challenge just confirmed some ideas I had on my own.
Since completing this challenge in such a short amount of time I haven't changed my mind on anything I've posted before so I'm refering to a post in general. Since I am a firm believer of keeping any passion in a post, I would change my mind with an additional entry directly under my original post. When keeping the original post it allows the writer more content and reason behind why they feel about some topic.

I received a comment on this post that made me think about the concept from another perspective and a different angle, so I replied to that comment to reflect that.
Mostly, I will modify the posted post to update if thre are new information.
What prompted you to revise your idea in the way that you did?
I happy because I have revised my activity in short time and pleased(happy) to share my ideas with PTPU.
When something new comes up, I usually post an update to my original post. It usually depends on what exactly happened. If it's something new, I post a new article and if something I wrote is wrong, I strike it out. If I'm writing about something that's happening in real time, I'd post an update inside my original post so that my readers are following the new information as it comes. I think it's up to the situation but those are my three methods that I favor.
researches prompted me to revise my post..these are the posts 1)http://www.texplod.com/linux-and-computer-viruses/

Being able to change one's view is very important. Luckily for me, my views on the subjects covered by my blog have not changed. yet.
I guess my revision is more like an addendum,
I was clarifying that while I think studying one particular interpretation of philosophy was valuable, I didn't necessarily subscribe to its tenants anymore. So. I just added it as a comment on the original post, because I didn't think it was actually necessary information, just clarification for those who want to explore further.
So one of the things I find tricky about this particular challenge is that much of my blogging is about coming to terms with what I think about something. The type of writing I have valued the most on my blog over time is the exploratory writing that I do when I'm trying to figure out what it is that I think about something. If I hit publish, it's because I struggled enough to either reach some sense of something, or at least a worthwhile enough mental exercise of unpacking what I know or think I know. Or what I think I can prove, as this post illustrates, I think.
So many times the blogging itself is reaching some sense of "knowing." It's hard to change my mind when the process itself was the decision. If that makes sense.
I've used podcasting in a similar way, or, rather, I've used the recording of my thinking out loud, later distributed as a podcast, to do similar exploratory thinking. I've come to call that "first draft thinking."
That said, I've certainly come to disagree with myself over time. But a lot of times, that happens during the writing process, and what I sat down to write might not be at all what I actually publish.
