BLOG REVIEW #2


Image Source: roguedenver.com

The blog I have decided to follow is https://thefirst2rows.wordpress.com/


Constructive criticism.
The first thing that I like about this post was the picture chosen for the top of the page. I find it suited to our class, also the humorist note that explain their title gives a fun edge  to the page.
The lack of color for the background allows for the text to pop to the eyes of the reader, and the pictures selected, makes the overall blog a very pleasant visual experience

Blog Quality Criteria
I think the blog meets some of the qualities listed on the criteria list, but unfortunately misses some others. The first thing I noticed missing is the blog description. The reader will not understand what is the purpose or central theme for this blog. That is a shame because the very appealing picture, the title and humorist touch in the sentence "the greatest rows of all time" will fall flat for the reader who doesn't know that the writers are students in an English class. The quality of the writing could also be improved. It is to expect that different bloggers have different styles, but after reading the entire blog, I felt a lack of cohesiveness. A way to correct this could be group joined editing sessions, after the blog entries are posted.

Overall the pleasant and easy to look at visuals and organisation as well as the variety of the content makes this blog my favorite.
