My Blogging Style

            Since I am a new blogger, I enjoyed looking at all types of blogs. Along the way I gathered ideas of what to do and what not to do in my blog.  One of my main focuses is to hook my readers and keep them interested in my writing.

            One of the first blogs I read, was a blog by the name of “The Choice” in the New York Times. I found this particular blog, geared toward junior and seniors in high school, to be extremely helpful and interesting for students planning on applying for colleges. This blog included a checklist that made the blog well organized and easy for the reader to follow.

            Recently, I have realized how helpful blogs can be and how easy they are to access and find out information. Within a few seconds it is easy to get on the Internet using a smartphone, computer or Ipad at your convenience. This makes blogs a good resource for you to read about your topic of choice.

            A blog in particular that sticks out in my mind was Tagans Kitchen blog. What I liked about this blog was the appealing pictures displayed that showed what exactly the author was explaining. For example, a recipe was posted on how to make “Golden Raspberry Jam”. The author included several pictures of the jam as it is being made. Blogs that include images, I feel, help the reader to grasp the main idea.  Another thing I liked was the blogs that were informative, by presenting facts, as well as interesting material such as videos or how to tutorials. This technique of using videos or posting how to tutorials, I feel, keeps the blog organized instead of confusing.

            Throughout this semester I plan on making my blog as interesting as possible.  My goal is to hook every reader that lays eyes on my blog. I will do this by bringing up interesting topics, including pictures and videos, and keeping my blog well organized and easy to read. The opinions I bring up in my posts will also have facts to back them up as well as links to other websites addressing my topic.

            All and all, I think blogging is an extremely useful resource for people of all ages. I encourage all readers to make a blog of their own, if they haven’t already, and start posting!
