'''Online writing''' is a type of writing that is written and viewed on a computer, tablet, or a smart phone. Writing for digital media transforms traditional writing by adopting characteristics associated with [[wikipedia:Communication#Oral_communication|oral communication]]. Integral elements of online writing are connectivity, fluidity, interactivity, and value.<ref>Ferris, Sharmilla Pixy "Writing Electronically: The Effects of Computers on Traditional Writing." ''Journal of Electronic Publishing'' 8.1 (2002): 1. Journal of Electronic Publishing.Web. 9 July 2013.</ref>

Online writing is a unique form of writing which emphasizes interaction. Online media is not "static". This creates a unique experience to the user that differs from analog media.<ref>Carroll, Brian. Writing for digital media. New York, NY: Routledge, 2010. Print.</ref>
== Types of Online Writing ==
There are various types of online writing that are used. Some of these types of online writing include:
<ul>
<li>[[Blogging]]</li>
<li>Publishing</li>
<li>Social Media and Microblogging</li>
<li>Wikis</li>
</ul>

== Blogging ==
Blogging is a type of online writing that either informs, or shares opinions. Personal blogging can consist of writing about one's life, experiences, or "how to's." Informational Blogging allows people to receive unbiased information. Anyone can blog as long as they have a computer and internet.
===Personal Blogging===
Personal blogging is creating a weblog that is an ongoing commentary or diary written by an individual.<ref>http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/04/19/personal-blogs-tell-your-story/</ref> This type of blogging allows you to write about any topic you want to write about. Personal blogging is not limited, but it's a wide variety to the public. By using this kind of blog, you can choose your own style for your blog. People use personal blogs for online writing because they can communicate and relay their knowledge to the public. Some use personal blogging to see if they are comfortable with other types of blogging.<ref>MacKenzie, Jacqui "Why Writers Should Have a Personal Blog." Social Media Today" (2012): Social Media Today. Web. 2013. </ref>

===Informational Blogging===
Informational blogging is similar to personal blogging, although the primary purpose is to inform. Personal blogs tend to be biased, while informational blogging is used to relay an unbiased message. An example of informational blogging is Wikipedia.

== Publishing ==
Publishing refers to the act of making information available to the public. In regards to online writing, this would mean that information is published to an online source, such as a website or electronic publication. <ref>[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/information-management/our-services/what-is-publishing.htm What is publishing?], The National Archives, Retrieved 2014-04-23.</ref> When writing is published online it is referred to as electronic publishing, or e-publishing, in which information is published to an online source, such as an email rather than in a traditional print source. Information can also be published to a compact disc, or made available to an electronic reader, such as a Kindle. There are advantages and disadvantages to e-publishing. One advantage is that there is a faster turnaround time for writing to be published than with traditional printed works. While royalties tend to be higher when published electronically, a disadvantage is that electronically published works don't typically sell as many copies as traditional paper books.<ref>[http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-e-publishing.htm What is E-Publishing?], Wise Geek, Retrieved 2014-04-23.</ref>

== Social Media and Microblogging ==
There are various forms of online writing with social media and microblogging. Some of these include Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr.

===Social Media===
Social media, as defined by Oxford dictionary, is "websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking." <ref>[http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/social-media Oxford Dictionary.]</ref> Facebook and Twitter are two prime examples of social media. While both of these websites are perfect examples of social media, there are social media networks geared specifically towards writers such as Writers Network, Goodreads, and Writertopia. <ref>Allen Taylor, [http://voices.yahoo.com/5-social-networks-writers-11904092.html?cat=38 5 Social Networks for Writers], November 29, 2012, Retrieved 2014-04-22.</ref>

Facebook is an online forum referred to as a social media site which allows members to create pages about themselves such as their hobbies, interests, education and job information to share with other members of Facebook. It also allows a person to create a friends list of other members of Facebook that one might know as well as create a page dedicated to a particular event and invite their friends. A person can also get on someone else's friend list and access information about people on their own friends list. It is a great way to share thoughts, exciting events and stories with other members of the Facebook community.

===Microblogging===
Microblogging is a form of social media where posts are extremely short. Currently, the most popular microblogging platform is Twitter, although there are other options available such as Tumblr and Plurk. Some consider microblogging random "short bursts of text". However, it is better to think of it as a group of short conversations. Users are able to converse back and forth with one another, as well as grouping content by the use of hashtags.<ref>Justin Herman, [http://www.howto.gov/social-media/microblogging Microblogging], April 18, 2013, Retrieved 2014-04-23.</ref>

== Wikis ==
Wiki sites are web applications whose content is collaboratively added, deleted, updated, modified, and organized by its users.<ref>[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc700339.aspx, "Easy Wiki Hosting, Scott Hanselman's blog, and Snagging Screens" Online. April 15, 2014.]</ref> Wikis promote a democratic use of the Web, encompass general knowledge, and produce a shared knowledge base. Wikis provide any user with access to the Internet an opportunity of author and editor privileges.<ref>[https://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/eli7004.pdf , "7 Things you Should Know About Wikis" Online. April 22, 2014.]</ref> While wiki sites are established collaboratively by a community of users, no content is owned by the authors. Wiki writings have an objective style and use an impersonal, formal, and dispassionate tone.<ref>[https://medium.com/p/66d288cebab4, "Writing on a Wiki" Online. April 18, 2014.]</ref> One of the most commonly visited wiki pages is the encyclopedia project Wikipedia, but there are multiple sites running different types of wiki software. <ref>[http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TopTenWikiEngines, "Top Ten Wiki Engines" Online. April 18, 2014.]</ref> Wikis support hyperlinks and have simple text syntax for producing new pages and crosslinks between internal pages.<ref>[http://wiki.org/wiki.cgi?WhatIsWiki , "What is Wiki?" Online. April 15, 2014.]</ref>

While royalties tend to be higher when published electronically, a disadvantage is that electronically published works don't typically sell as many copies as traditional paper books.<ref>[http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-e-publishing.htm What is E-Publishing?], Wise Geek, Retrieved 2014-04-23.</ref>

== Social Media and Microblogging ==
There are various forms of online writing with social media and microblogging. Some of these include Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr.

===Social Media===
Social media, as defined by Oxford dictionary, is "websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking." <ref>[http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/social-media Oxford Dictionary.]</ref> Facebook and Twitter are two prime examples of social media. While both of these websites are perfect examples of social media, there are social media networks geared specifically towards writers such as Writers Network, Goodreads, and Writertopia. <ref>Allen Taylor, [http://voices.yahoo.com/5-social-networks-writers-11904092.html?cat=38 5 Social Networks for Writers], November 29, 2012, Retrieved 2014-04-22.</ref>

Facebook is an online forum referred to as a social media site which allows members to create pages about themselves such as their hobbies, interests, education and job information to share with other members of Facebook. It also allows a person to create a friends list of other members of Facebook that one might know as well as create a page dedicated to a particular event and invite their friends. A person can also get on someone else's friend list and access information about people on their own friends list. It is a great way to share thoughts, exciting events and stories with other members of the Facebook community.

===Microblogging===
Microblogging is a form of social media where posts are extremely short. Currently, the most popular microblogging platform is Twitter, although there are other options available such as Tumblr and Plurk. Some consider microblogging random "short bursts of text", however it is better to think of it as a group of short conversations. Users are able to converse back and forth with one another, as well as grouping content by the use of hashtags.<ref>Justin Herman, [http://www.howto.gov/social-media/microblogging Microblogging], April 18, 2013, Retrieved 2014-04-23.</ref>

== Wikis ==
Wiki sites are web applications whose content is collaboratively added, deleted, updated, modified, and organized by its users.<ref>[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc700339.aspx, "Easy Wiki Hosting, Scott Hanselman's blog, and Snagging Screens" Online.

What types of online writing are there?

'''Online writing''' is a type of writing that is written and viewed on a computer, tablet, or a smart phone. Writing for digital media transforms traditional writing by adopting characteristics associated with [[wikipedia:Communication#Oral_communication|oral communication]]. Integral elements of online writing are connectivity, fluidity, interactivity, and value.<ref>Ferris, Sharmilla Pixy "Writing Electronically: The Effects of Computers on Traditional Writing." ''Journal of Electronic Publishing'' 8.1 (2002): 1. Journal of Electronic Publishing.Web. 9 July 2013.</ref>

Online writing is a unique form of writing which emphasizes interaction. Online media is not "static". This creates a unique experience to the user that differs from analog media.<ref>Carroll, Brian. Writing for digital media. New York, NY: Routledge, 2010. Print.</ref>
== Types of Online Writing ==
There are various types of online writing that are used. Some of these types of online writing include:
<ul>
<li>[[Blogging]]</li>
<li>Publishing</li>
<li>Social Media and Microblogging</li>
<li>Wiki</li>
</ul>

== Blogging ==
Blogging is a type of online writing that either informs, or shares opinions. Personal Blogging can consist of writing about one's life, experiences, or "how to's." Informational Blogging allows people to receive unbiased information. Anyone can blog as long as they have a computer and internet.
===Personal Blogging===
Personal blogging is creating a weblog that is an ongoing commentary or diary written by an individual.<ref>http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/04/19/personal-blogs-tell-your-story/</ref> This type of blogging allows you to write about any topic you want to write about. Personal blogging is not limited, but it's a wide variety to the public. By using this kind of blog, you can choose your own style for your blog. People use personal blogs for online writing because they can communicate and relay their knowledge to the public. Some use personal blogging to see if they are comfortable with other types of blogging.<ref>MacKenzie, Jacqui "Why Writers Should Have a Personal Blog." Social Media Today" (2012): Social Media Today. Web. 2013. </ref>

===Informational Blogging===
Informational Blogging is similar to personal blogging, although the primary purpose is to inform. Personal blogs tend to be biased, while informational blogging is used to relay an unbiased message. An example of informational blogging is Wikipedia.

== Publishing ==
Publishing refers to the act of making information available to the public. In regards to online writing, this would mean that information is published to an online source, such as a website or e-publication. <ref>[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/information-management/our-services/what-is-publishing.htm What is publishing?], The National Archives, Retrieved 2014-04-23.</ref> When online writing is published, it is referred to as electronic publishing or e-publishing. E-publishing is a type of publishing where information is published to an online source, such as an email, a compact disk, or made available to an electronic reader, such as a Kindle, rather than published in a traditional printed book. There are both advantages and disadvantages to e-publishing. One advantage is that there is a faster turnaround time for writing to be published than with traditional printed works.

How do I present titles of poems, novels, etc. in my essay?

2014-04-11T03:46:11Z

Batgirl 95:

Generally, when including the titles of selections within an essay, there are two main guidelines to follow.

The first is to use quotation marks for shorter pieces. Shorter pieces include, but are not limited to poems, short stories, songs, and articles. <ref>[http://web.cn.edu/kwheeler/documents/punctuating_titles_chart.pdf Punctuating Titles: When to Use Italics, Underlining, and "Quotation Marks." PDF. April 10, 2014.]</ref> Below are some examples.

* Short story: "The Harmony of the Spheres," “Indian Camp,” “Babylon Revisited”
* Poem: "To His Coy Mistress," “Ulysses.” “Daddy”
* Television show: "Star Trek", “Battlestar Galactica”
* Song: "Ants Marching", “Stairway to Heaven,” “Come Sail Away”

The second is to italicize or underline longer pieces. Longer pieces include, but are not limited to novels, films, and newspapers. Both italics and underlining are appropriate for longer writings. However, the same style should be used consistently throughout the essay. <ref>[https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/566/01/ Brief Overview of Punctuation. Online. April 10,2014.]</ref> Below are some examples.

* Novel: ''Perfume'', ''Moby Dick'', ''The Satanic Verses''
* Feature film: ''Blade Runner'', ''The Day After Tomorrow'', ''Star Wars''
* Television series: ''Star Trek: The Next Generation''
* Long poem (epic): ''Odyssey'', ''Beowulf'', ''Paradise Lost''
* Play: ''Hamlet'', ''Oedipus Rex'', ''Death of a Salesman''

There are a few exceptions to these two guidelines.
* Visual artwork (paintings, sculptures, drawings, etc.) is always italicized. (Ex. Van Gogh's ''Starry Night'')
* Traditional religious works are not italicized, underlined, or put in quotation marks. (Ex. The Bible)

The titles of novellas or long poems, like Tolstay’s ''The Death of Ivan Ilyitch'', Kafka’s ''Metamorophsis'', or Poe’s ''Rape of the Lock'', can be tricky, so checking a secondary source may become necessary. If you are unsure about which category a particular selection falls under, look it up and see how critics have done it.

* Visual artwork (paintings, sculptures, drawings, etc.) is always italicized. (Ex. Van Gogh's ''Starry Night'')[1]
* Traditional religious works are not italicized, underlined, or put in quotation marks. (Ex. The Bible)[1]

The titles of novellas or long poems, like Tolstay’s ''The Death of Ivan Ilyitch'', Kafka’s ''Metamorophsis'', or Poe’s ''Rape of the Lock'', can be tricky, so checking a secondary source may become necessary.

* Novel: ''Perfume'', ''Moby Dick'', ''The Satanic Verses''
* Feature film: ''Blade Runner'', ''The Day After Tomorrow'', ''Star Wars''
* Television series: ''Star Trek: The Next Generation''
* Long poem (epic): ''Odyssey'', ''Beowulf'', ''Paradise Lost''
* Play: ''Hamlet'', ''Oedipus Rex'', ''Death of a Salesman''

There are a few exceptions to these two guidelines.
* Visual artwork (paintings, sculptures, drawings, etc.) is always italicized. (Ex. Van Gogh's ''Starry Night'')
* Traditional religious works are not italicized, underlined, or put in quotation marks. (Ex. The Bible)

The titles of novellas or long poems, like Tolstay’s ''The Death of Ivan Ilyitch'', Kafka’s ''Metamorophsis'', or Poe’s ''Rape of the Lock'', can be tricky, so checking a secondary source may become necessary. If you are unsure about which category a particular selection falls under, look it up and see how critics have done it.

Generally, when writing the title of a selection, use quotation marks for shorter pieces and italicize or underline longer pieces (you should pick one and use it consistently throughout your essay -- I suggest italicizing if you use a word processor). Titles of short poems, songs, short stories, television shows, and articles (essays) should appear in quotation marks; titles of novels (books), movies, long poems, plays, and television series should be presented in italics or underlined. For example:

* Short story: "The Harmony of the Spheres," “Indian Camp,” “Babylon Revisited”
* Novel: ''Perfume'', ''Moby Dick'', ''The Satanic Verses''
* Feature film: ''Blade Runner'', ''The Day After Tomorrow'', ''Star Wars''
* Poem: "To His Coy Mistress," “Ulysses.” “Daddy”
* Television show: "Star Trek", “Battlestar Galactica”
* Television series: ''Star Trek: The Next Generation''
* Song: "Ants Marching", “Stairway to Heaven,” “Come Sail Away”
* Long poem (epic): ''Odyssey'', ''Beowulf'', ''Paradise Lost''
* Play: ''Hamlet'', ''Oedipus Rex'', ''Death of a Salesman''

If you are unsure about how to present a title, look it up and see how critics have done it. The titles of novellas or long poems, like Tolstay’s ''The Death of Ivan Ilyitch'', Kafka’s ''Metamorophsis'', or Poe’s ''Rape of the Lock'', can be tricky, so checking a secondary source becomes necessary.
