Al''s Blog

This week I took a look at an older blog, going all the way back to the year 2014. Al Pivcevich wrote a blog about something near and dear to his heart… trees. Al’s family is known for their work in trees; Al really took an interest in something that his life revolves so heavily around.  He made a normally not interesting topic seem very interesting to the rest of us. Al took his great personality and really made it pop out in his blog giving it his own flare.

            His blog has bright spots, but some dim ones as well. For example at some points it seems like he really is putting in a lot of work to make his blog sound good, other times it just sounds like he is just trying to get these blogs done and over with. He hits a lull if you would, for about three blogs in a row that are very boring. When Al wants to he is a very talented blog writer.

            Overall the design of the blog is alright, I would’ve liked to see a little more to make it pop. The writing is good except for the couple of blogs I talked about earlier. He is a talented writer and the topic of the blog is a cool idea. I enjoyed reading this blog, and next week I’ll be doing a review of Jaret’s blog… round 2!

Mid-season Reviews

It's halfway through the blog assignments and things seem to be going well for the most part. Whether the blog is about books, sports, or music the blogs are starting to gain some content. I myself have reviewed 4 different blogs: Mr. Arra's, Brandon's, Jaret's, and Talia's.

One critique in general for everyone, including myself, would be that we are all a little behind on our blogs. For example, when I reviewed Jaret’s blog he was still two blogs behind, which made it hard for me to review most of his content. I may stop by Jaret’s blog later this year for a second review when there is more content.

One of my favorite blogs to read would have to be Brandon’s. A side from the grammatical mistakes here and there he does have a blog that interests me personally. I like to read things that I’m involved in and so reading a blog about shoremen football is cool (whether or not he does tear our performance up that week).

Even some of the reviewed blogs took my advice to heart. Mr. Arra updated his blog a few times since I last said that he should update it more often. It’s nice to see people take what you say seriously instead of just blowing you off.

I hope to continue doing these reviews for the coming weeks and hope that you all enjoy reading these posts. Next week: Al Pivcevich’s blog…
