Entry #1. Blogs - Little World 

Blogs are like our little world in many points of view. The first similar is the structure. We show our personalities through the way we talk, the way we dress up, and the way we behave. Blogs also have their own characteristics. Blogs talk through their tones, their styles and their directions.  The second similar is the potential to grow. The more mature we become, the more knowledge we build up through our daily experiences. Same thing happens with blogs. The more postings on blogs, the more valuable blogs can get through bloggers' effort and focus that put on the writing. The last similar is the ability to make decision. We choose our friends; blogs influence their readers. 

 

After searching out blogs, I find the blog that I like. It is a personal blog: At Home With Natalie. The first thing that catches my attention is Blogger Natalie is a mom of six kids. I can feel a little connection with her because I also have three kids ( not as much as her 😁). Her intended audience is mostly mother with kids or people interested in the life at home; therefore in her blog, she includes a lot of pictures of her kids, her house and her cooking... The blog is well-organized. She has all the video on the top of the page to catch attention. Below that, she defines all her posting in each categories like motherhood, home and hostess, birthday parties, DIY,...In each posting, she includes pictures, the links to website where she buys things. Her tone is informal and interesting to read. The display of blog is creamy color that makes people feel like being at home.

One thing I find interesting in the blog The Weblog Awards is the big yellow star on the right side. When I scroll down the page, the star moves along. This blog gives us the address to awarded weblogs in a lot of difference areas, such as best Asian weblog, best education weblog. best travel weblog... In each area, the star changes to a different picture that represent for that area. I think it is a really cool design. 

I also look on a professional blog nsouly. I like the style they have. It is really well-designed. All colors of blog are mainly black and white that simplify for technology. The tone is formal, and language is chosen carefully. However, one thing that I don't like is advertise on the top page, below category bar. Every time I click on the  different category, advertise is on top that make me confused for a second. I am trying to read on a technology idea, and it appear to advertise for women's jewelry. When I read on the posting that have a lot of writing, advertise appear in the middle of writing that interrupt my focus on reading. I think blogger should put advertise in a better place.
