Personally, I really like blogs. It's a way for adults and maybe even teenagers to get their thoughts and ideas in writing. Like a public journal in a way. I like looking at them and finding new ideas and things I didn't know before. I started my first blog when i was 16 and I have kept it ever since. I may have drifted away from it at times, but it's always there for me to return to.
So the first blog I liked out of the ones I have just scowered the internet was www.videogum.com.
If you didn't get a chance to look at this one, I thoroughly reccomend, especially if you like movies, youtube vids, and TV. They give reviews on everything. I read the funniest post about the latest Glee episode and about one of my favorite movies, Bridesmaids. They definitely caught my eye considering I am all about watching every single TV show, the good ones, on television. I also really enjoy a good thrashing when people make some big copyright mistakes.
The next reccomendation is definitely www.thehairpin.com
Being a girl, this one stuck out when the review said it had tons of beauty ideas and crafty things all over it. When I visited, it had a lot more than that. I read the most interesting article about a Princeton professor who was verbally harrassed by a former student and the article just baffled me. I really hope you take a look at this one. I just spent the last hour looking at 30+ blogs and this one is by far my favorite.
Now this next one was terrible or anything, but it just wasn't interesting to me because I could care less about finances at the moment www.getrichslowly.org
I will definitely keep this blog in mind when money starts to be more prominent in my life but for now, ehh. It had some awesome tips on how to keep a little pocket change here and there and I will defnitely keep those tips in mind the next time I go shopping but really, all the money advice and tips I have come from my parents. I know that other advice can go along way with some people, and there are countless books on the subject, but I personally feel that it just doesn't affect me. I know not to spend money like it never ends and that if I don't need it, then don't get it. I went to a university already, and there isn't much to do to cut corners when you are poor and the only money you have to spend is on books and tuition. I already know the things that are neccessary and the things you can live without.
Rhianna--Your blog is looking good, and your writing flows well. You have good visual engagement and some good content. Be sure to connect your entry topics and ideas to your reader (make sure they know WHY you are posting something). SG#1 is just the article from the textbook. You need to discuss it; provide context for your reader. Give them more than the story. Tell them why it is important to you, and thus, important to them and society.
