Week 2 Blog 1

After reading and observing the three blogs: "The Future" "Through the Gypsies Eye" and "Stitched Personae" I found myself either into the blog or bored by it.  I kept in mind that there will always be weaknesses and strengths whether I am interested in the blog or not.  As any blogger does there is always a purpose to their blog or something they want to give or express towards its readers.  Each blog has a different purpose therefore they entertain certain readers for different purposes.
Throughout the blog "The Future" I found myself bored and uninterested.  There was plenty of information on the blog about each topic with plenty of details.  Information is not his weakness, but to make his blog more enjoyable and maybe spark interests would be to have photos relating to the topics.  This may intrigue the readers.  This also was the only blog that did not contain any photos in relation to the posts.
When looking at "Stitched Personae" I was immediately intrigued to see what was going on and what she was talking about.  She showed her creative abilities throughout her blog and it was seen that the projects she conducted were difficult.  I am not to into the animation world at this time, so I could not find myself really getting a grasp of what she was talking about.  She had a strong about me with plenty of detail but maybe it was too much.  Being specific is good but she could have easily expressed some of these things throughout her blog posts.
"Through The Gypsies Eye" was well done.  I found myself interested throughout the entire blog.  Not only did I think her about me was the strongest but I felt she had the strongest blog description as well.  She told me everything I needed to know about her to understand how this blog would flow.  I myself like to travel so it was interesting to see what her experience was traveling in all these different places.  There is such a great personality throughout this blog that it makes you want to stay and read more about what her experience was.  I think that her personality is what makes this blog so succesful.
There are many things I have learned from looking at these different blogs.  I can take from this that using photography in blogs is a good way to keep a reader interested.  Concerning the about me section on the blog I found that it is important to give information but not too much.  You want to keep the reader interested not scare them away.
