Entry # 1 Blog Edition: The haves and the have nots (Blogs I like and dislike)

Blogsite I liked- Fifteenth Annual Weblog Awards

    Out of all the blogs, the blog that stood out to me was the blog webpage of all the award winning blogs (Fifteenth Annual Weblog Awards). All the qualities of this blog was so efficient. Furthermore, the webpage is user friendly providing easy access to award winning blogs around the world. In addition, the web page of the all the blogs was creative because of the designs for each blog (see picture below). 




Blog I liked- Dog Shaming
    
    Within the Fifteenth Annual Weblog Awards, there lies a blog called "Dog Shaming". The author wants dog owners to post pictures with captions of what naughty shenanigans their pups are up to. This blog is simple but cute. To elaborate, the blog is formatted in a personal blog style because it is open to proud dog owners who lovingly shame their dog(s) and comment on other dog shaming posts. As the saying goes, "dogs are man's best friend" and that is true! Dog shaming has attracted my attention aswell as the audience of many other dog lovers. I like the tone of this blog because it is very lighthearted. The posts develop a negative into positive humor. 



Blog site I dislike- Appartment Therapy

   In this informative blog site, the main audience is individuals who want to enhance their living space with tips and stories. I appreciate the author's intentions in creating this blog site, but for me personally, this blog site is confusing. Moreover, the format contains many blogs available for the audience, but it is overwhelming because of ads and blogs on the screen (picture on the left).



Blog I disliked- 12 Movies to Stream If You're Not Into the Whole Football Thing

    The author intends this blog for an audience who want to entertain but are not into football. This is great for people who are hosting a gathering, for they can utilize this blog as a resource. However, I disliked this blog because based on the other blogs on the site this blog does not fit under the category of improving living spaces, but I do like the movies that are listed in the blog. As a matter of fact, the author created this blog to be a personal blog because it is based off of the author's movie interests and it might not be helpful to someone with different tastes in movie genres.The tone starts as exciting but then runs off as bland. The author uses various phrases at the beginning of the paragraph to gravitate the reader's attention. For example, the phrase "the event still calls for ordering cheesy nachos and spicy wings" not only does the phrase create an image in the reader's mind of having a good time, but it makes the reader hungry. As the blog continues, the reader loses attention because all the author is doing is describing movies.

Entry #4 The Screw Ball

    The Screw Ball        Do you play any sports? Yes, I am talking to you! If you do play or watch sports, you probably have heard of baseball. Baseball, our national past time has been known for its player doing spectacular accomplishments like Babe Ruth hitting home runs, but did you know he was a pitcher?        Speaking of pitchers, every pitcher must have effective pitches like a fastball, sinker, slider, curveball, etc. You may have heard of these pitches that move sideways, up, down, or just straight, however, there is one pitch that defies physics, and it is called the screwball. This pitch moves straight and then breaks away from the batter at the last second. It is mind-blowing!!! Moreover, the genius behind this mystery pitch was a pitcher in the early 1900s that goes by the name Christy Mathewson. Mathewson created and named this pitch the fade as it would fade away from the batters. Thus, realizing that the screwball h...

Bruce Lee   You are looking stunning! Now, that is a compliment that will turn a frown into a smile. Moreover, Society has expectations that people make to meet what looks stunning or what looks unattractive. If a person looks unattractive then the ignorant person will make an unnecessary remark. A compliment and a rude remark have two major impacts on people it is two extremes like hot and cold, however, for the people tunning into this blog please make a difference and do not be the ignorant person in society.      What does stunning look like? It depends on the person, for you may have a different view of what looks attractive than what others view. Every person has what I call the Shallow Hal effect. To elaborate, Shallow Hal was a man who seen unattractive women as attractive. Thus, Shallow Hal had his opinions on what was attractive to him, but in retrospect everyone has their opinions on anything. Furthermore, if a person cared what others think there will be ...
