Hey guys! I've been checking out some blogs today and thinking about their purpose.
Blogs can be used to keep friends and family in touch. Blogs can be used to share funny stories, or educate people about something they may have never thought about. Blogs can be used to reach any audience and share whatever information the blogger desires. This truly makes blogging interesting and unique. It's a page designed completely as a blogger would like, with the option to limit the viewers to whomever they like. It's a way to share who they are and how they want to be perceived now and in the future. Through my search today, I've found some fun and interesting blogs.
If you know me, you know how much I like playing games to pass the time. And if you don't know me, I'm sure that you'd agree that it's nice to kick back, relax, and play a game or two to help you unwind. If you do agree, take a moment to check out The Gameological Society. The Gameological Society is a blog specifically designed to provide lists of games that John Teti wants to share with the public. He's even gotten in broken down so that you can find cheap and free games, definitely my favorites!
Another blog I enjoyed was Beer Labels in Motion. The biggest reason that I enjoyed this blog was... wait for it.... that it was about beer (duh!). More seriously, I thought the animations of the beer labels were very unique and creative. If you are a fellow beer drinker, you'll enjoy that they get straight to the point and provide great flavor descriptions of the beers they have chosen to promote.
And last, but definitely not least, we have our blog about food! Looking for something to cook tonight? Check out 101 Cookbooks. Filled with tons of photos, and organized so well that you can find a recipe by ingredients, this blog is one helpful cooking tool. Be careful! Just one click, and you'll be hooked!
While reading through the blogs I definitely learn more about myself. I learn what my interests are, and where I lack interest. I've also noticed that I am a sucker for design.
One blog that did not make my list of favorites was Inky Fool. The simplistic design with black lettering and white background left me bored, and made it hard for me to give the content a chance. Though the blog contained photographs, they were nothing as exciting and 101 Cookbook's Coconut Quinoa Bowl!
What do you think is more important in a blog? Do you lean more toward the fancy looking blogs, or is it the content that counts? I know we say that we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but can we make an exception in this case?
