Casually searching the internet, one may come across different types of blogs that present different subjects.
Some blogs are even created to help and inspire people of the world. One blog I happened to come across is this makeup tutorial blog. Now, I am personally not a huge fan of the makeup world, but this blog really caught my attention. It has eye-grabbing designs, colors, and huge photos which really makes the viewer sucked into the author's blog.

I happened to really enjoy scrolling through this blog just because it was very well organized and fun to read. This is easily a good strategy to have more viewers follow a blog and keep tabs on their posts more often. Using a tactic like this is very beneficial and, as you may know, kept my interest going. I strongly enjoyed looking at her photos and reading what she had to say about each post. It was just entertaining and interesting to analyze since it is not particularly my style.

Some blogs even portray a more personal and casual purpose. This is more common considering family and friends can be shared with daily activities.
Another blog I came across is controlled by a dog who enjoys blogging about his life. Yes, a dog. Now, this is a more personal- creative blog if I were to categorized this properly.
Obviously the dog isn't blogging with his furry paws, it is in fact a man portraying himself as the dog, telling his story through his perspective. Its very clever if you ask me.

I strongly enjoyed viewing this blog as well. It is organized by date to each event, the detail is very descriptive and the point of the blog is at the beginning for the viewer to understand the purpose right away. Clearly, it is taken in a humorous way as the author takes photos of the dog looking as if hes actually on the computer blogging. The blog is even in dog- first person which makes it even more amusing. Easily the most entertaining blog I have come across.

Proceeding on my little researching of blogs, I came across this very odd one.
Now, we have established that there are many reasons people create blogs, there are also reasons such as connecting with people like the author themselves.
That being said, I came across a blog that is all about soda....yuck!
This blog in particular I wasn't a fan of, hence as to why I put a "yuck" at the end of that sentence.
(I hate soda).
Moving on, even though the blog was on a topic I strongly disliked, it was still interesting to view.
Apparently the blogger searches all around the world and collects different sodas and different types of bottles and containers they come in, what a hobby!

My attention span to this blog was giving in very quickly unfortunately. The blog design is very gloomy and dark. So, not only was the topic in this blog not as interesting as I would've liked, it wasn't designed to keep a viewer wanting to read more. Quite frankly, it made me feel a bit tired.
I suggest adding some bright colors to draw more attention!
I give this blog a:
Overall, experiencing and learning about the difference between blogs was very informal and gave myself a better understand of how to create one for the right type of audience.
I also thought that other blogs were informal. Because their are so many different types of audiences to write too. Some might enjoy your blog and others might not but if you write for the audience you want to then it doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of insight with the way blogs attract people. sometimes i will look at the whole structure of a blog without reading the articles. in some ways its like a house and i have to feel good in it. once i do that i will start reading the articles.
