2 Blogs, 1 Post

Hello,

Blogs I will be discussing:

• Diary of a Vintage Girl - Click Here
• Living Your Five - Click Here

Without a doubt there are some obvious differences between these two blogs.

Living Your Five, which is ran by 4 professional authors, follows the tips and rules very closely. They draw your attention in and use bullets like crazy. As childish as this may sound, I love the colors they use. It does in fact capture my attention and press me to read more. They keep the layout in chunks which does in fact appeal to me. Even though I love to read, a blog is meant to be a blog, not a novel. This blog would pull readers in because you won’t get the same style over and over again due to it being ran by 4 different people:

• Kay Cassidy
• Tera Lynn Childs
• Becca Fitzpatrick
• Alyson Noel
  

All YA Authors aiming to better the world one person at a time. They have contests and appeal to the younger generation which would make this blog very successful (or so I hope). The concept of their blog is easy to understand and anyone can pick it up. Share 5 ways you can better yourself and the world around you. Simple, right? I think so.

Diary of a Vintage Girl, is something very unique. I came across this only last week and since I am a fan of the vintage style, it was love at first blog. Just her style herself will intrigue you, however what keeps you reading is wanting to know more. She does follow the “chunks” rule, however some paragraphs become a little lengthy. However, her writing style is so proper and interesting you want to know more. So maybe in this case it would work for her. The images and links she provides within each blog are also attracting to the eye. All these things about her blog caught my eye and drew me in. I am not “following” her blog and can’t wait for another post. I just love this blog. Very cool.


As for “which blog does a better job in using the tips”? Definitely the “Living Your Five” blog. Diary of a Vintage Girl’s style and images keep me interested well enough and I love it, but Living Your Five really does follow those tips to a “T”.

Check them out. They are awesome!

Every Blog Needs a Beginning...

Hello,

My name is Brandi but you can call me "B".

This will be my on going blog for this 2009 Fall semester for my Internet & Society course.

Now, every blog needs a beginning. Does it not?

So I suppose I should give you a short tid-bit of information about myself.
You want to know a little about who is typing the madness, right?

Well, I am 21.
"Yay for drinking!"
I am in my fourth year at MSU and I have survived my first week.... thus far.
So I am saying that's a win!
I am a writer.
Poems, Crazy blogs, stories, and even (dare I say) FanFiction (gasp).
Yeah, I do it all.
Did I mention I am a book worm?
Yes, I am one of those people who reads and reads and reads.
My goal for the 2009 year is 50 and I have read 41 (last time I checked).
I love everything about books. Their smell, the crisp pages, and of course the stories that each one contains.
Photography and Videography are my next passions.
I am currently saving for a new camera.
When you work at a professional photography studio, you suddenly realize how shabby your own camera (which you thought was bad ass) is.

Well, that is enough babbling for today. If you want to know more feel free to leave comments/questions!

xoxo
