When I take a look at my blog I see a simple background that was chosen quickly based on it's simple design and light colors. It's incredibly easy to read and even easier to use. I have no pictures, only text. Needless to say, my blog is boring. I had never made a blog before and when I finished putting it together I was satisfied. It got my point across and I got the grade. I mean, I wasn't the one looking at it, right? I now realize that although it is my words and thoughts, it is the reader's eyes and making my blog appealing to you, will get my point across easier. After being in the class this long I feel like I have a much wider range of where I can take this blog. I do like simplicity, but I don't like to be boring. With this new blog I hope to make it more exciting for the reader. I understand that you, Denise, have to read these one after another and that can get boring. I hope that after this makeover you will have plenty to look at. I would like to put a few pictures or videos on my blog so that if you get boring reading this you can stop, take a break, take a tour around my site and then go back to reading whatever assignment you’ve given us this week. I am excited to turn my blah blog into a beautiful blog.
My new blog definitely expresses me a lot more than it used to. It’s simple, but I like the colors. I think that they’re relaxing colors and there are no silly shadows of hummingbirds. I chose to add the College Humor videos because I watch them all the time and I think they’re funny as hell. There are more videos, but I couldn’t fit them all. I wish I could have had a scroll bar of videos along the top. That would have made this perfect. I feel that the choices I made to change my blog are for the better. It looks more mature, but it has touches of what I like. I chose features similar to Facebook where it has links of different sites that people may like and can click on. I decided to include links to different sites that I like and often visit on a boring, lazy night on the right side of my blog. Overall, I am now happier than ever with my updated blog. I feel that I accomplished my goal of taking it from “blah” to “beautiful” and I am confident that it will be a much larger success. I hope that this change helps the number of viewers I have. I would really like to increase the viewers from just the teacher, to the English 015 class and maybe even more than that. Now that I know how to set up an aesthetically pleasing blog and know what to write, I think I would like to continue writing blogs.
