Read This Blog
I’m a couple of months into this course, and I’m supposed to know stuff. So what better way to critique yourself than to compare with other people’s work, after all nothing brings the best out of you like competition.
So I checked out the blogs of other people in the class, and I rather liked Olivia’s.
Here are some reasons her blog is better than mine:
· It looks better – it’s very easy on the eye, the light colours and simple background design makes it a comfortable read;
· She has a funky title – admittedly mine lacks creativity;
· She has lots of little buttons and gadgets and polls and things to link to other sites – I’m still madly going through my “Blog for Idiots” text to discover how to log onto the interweb (“Google? What is this Google?!”);
· She posts regularly – I think I’m currently two posts behind in the course;
· She has heaps of photos and videos – I don’t;
· She uses words like “Peruse” – I now know what “Peruse” means;
· She has that awesome side bar thing which again adds to the aesthetic appeal of the blog – see point three
There are plenty more reasons why she will surely get a better mark than me, but my self confidence can only stretch so far and I leave it at the above points only.
Basically I have poo-loads to do to improve my blog, so I’m going to search the interweb for advice now, anyone know a good search engine…?
