Blogs: Assigned Entry #1

I find most blogs uninteresting unless there is some personal attachment or insight into a personal interest. I do not have a FaceBook or Twitter or whatever else people do nowadays. I spend all day on a phone and a computer so the last thing I want to do when I'm off work is get back on either. I am artistic, so grab my attention with good pictures that make me want to read further. Just like a good cook book, your blog must first be pleasing to my eye so that I may delve deeper into your world. I have an interest in food and nutrition so http://blog.wholefoodsmarket.com/ was interesting to me with a nice design and photographs with an artistic flare. However, I have no interest in business or finance so a few blogs weren't even interesting enough for me to check out such as http://futurebanking.bankofamerica.com. While other blogs triggered a personal bias which made me even more reluctant to access their posts, like http://www.checkoutblog.com/, which was a blog associated with Wal-Mart. I have a personal hatred of Wal-Mart because of the lack of customer service and extremely long checkout lines. Blogs have unlimited potential and like a library has books, the internet has blogs on a vast variety of interests and uses.

  1. Ra--Your blog is looking pretty good so far. Your writing flows pretty well, your tone is comfortable, and you have some good content. Keep working on making that content really connect to your audience. Why/how are your ideas important to your reader? Keep working on the visual appeal of your blog as well. You did not do the practice intro blog entry.
