Class post for Friday the 13th

Critique of my blog:
My rhetoric:
I find that I’m mostly creating pleasure, by writing with a light hearted spirit and making it known that I’m just an ordinary college kid. I also believe that I’m trying to provide information about becoming eco friendly, however, I may not have gotten to educating yet. My goal is to keep my post fairly short, without feeling the pressure to make a concrete intro, body and conclusion, my blog can just end and leaving readers wondering.

I tried to make my blog as visual as possible. I know that my personal preference is something that catches my eye with a message, but I know that there things can easily be overdone.

So far there is no active participation on my blog. I still need to get a little more informed on this aspect. My first task it to learn how to put in a you tube video, and then put in some activity with a survey.

My thesis could still be narrowed down. I was originally hoping to solely write about my adventures in being green, however, as I thought about it more I realized that I might not have time to work on a garden extensively. I’m trying to keep it somewhat in the middle, between an average busy person, and someone who is dedicated to going green.


Concepts brought up in class:
My group really admired Geoff’s strong message of exactly what he was saying with his visuals. We talked about the differences of what our own blogs would like to do. For example, Matt’s blog may not really want to educate, because that’s a little too deep for him. He’d rather just show people what’s out there, just so they know whereas Geoff and myself are out to change the world, or at least try to.

I really enjoy this blog because i have acquired a taste for New Mexican food and i will be keeping up to date on this blog to see the best places to eat in the local area. I will certainly be making the time to have dinner at Los Cuates because of the raving reviews. I love the way you have put pictures up and this adds to my understanding of what it is like. great start.

This comment was posted on New Mexican Taste Buds by group member Joe Wood. Victor is working on bringing up the flavors of Albuquerque with first hand and honest experience. To me, this comment is especially important because it details with someone who hasn’t had a lot of experience with Albuquerque, whose mind is open.

Love the layout of the blog and I'm impressed by the collection of video's you got up. It's refreshing to see a blog that doesn't just talk about the Big Four American sports, instead taking advantage of a unique point of view. I can imagine you are quite the Beckham and Tiger Woods fan. I really like the name, it gives a sense of truly having a differant POV.

I chose this comment on Joe Wood’s Sports on Both Sides of the Pond because it really hit home on how his blog has the possibility to be truly insightful for die hard fans and not so into it folks like myself. Having a unique perspective is something we often don’t realize, but this comment focuses on it.

Envy List:

links within the text of my posts
interesting display of utube videos
keeping it uncluttered and clean
