Because I am the person writing the text on the pages of my blog, I am the author of that portion. Because I am somewhat "technologically challenged," the design of the blog belongs to the creator of the template I chose. The person (or persons) that designed the template did so for people like me that are a bit intimidated by technology or need help. It is understood that I may borrow the template for my blog and create the text (or insert other media), but the authorship does not belong to me entirely.
My blog is a representation of me. The thoughts are mine developed from what is read and/or discussed in class. It has the characteristics of a journal. As I create the text and other medias on the page, it belongs to me (alone) the same way a notebook and pen written journal would be. Once I publish the post, I am no longer the sole owner. My classmates can physically add or comment on my blog and even share ideas. Therefore, my blog has joint authorship.
