What makes a good blog post? Thats the question of the week.

Have you ever read a blog that was long and boring?  Some people may open a blog and realize there are way to many word to read. So, how do you know if your blog is to long, to short, or even losing the audiences attention? Well, in class we discussed what aspects make a blog stand out. Some of these include: Creative word choice, good language, sincerity, pictures,and an interesting title. When people use creative words and good language, it makes the reader feel that the person actually put effort into their writing. Sincerity in a blog, really makes it feel that the writer connected to the topic and probably enjoyed writing about it.

How about those pictures? I know my favorite thing to look at in a blog is the pictures. When people have creative pictures it makes you want to know why they used it. For Ex. in one of michelles blog, she starts off an interesting picture. Its a symbol of some sort. When i looked at it i really wanted to read about it because it caught my attention.

I know for me when i see an interesting title it draws my eyes to read the article. For me i know that i dont really like to read, so i try looking for things im interested in. For ex. when i open the newspaper, i look for titles that have action or related to my town, or even people i know.

In class we looked at one of Alexis blog called "petrone in your heart." Her blog was made very personal. She related the words in her blog to her major.  She enjoys singing and music. She used words like melody,  harmony which made her blog  double themed, which makes an interesting piece to read.

This is what i feel makes a good blog.
