There are tons of blogs on the internet, from personal to business. Personally I only keep up with one blog, which is a sewing blog. I am not good with the ritual of constantly telling people about my life. Blogs are nice for people with constant consistency in their lives. I tend to be sporadic after a while and need a mix up. I commend those who can take the time to sit down and write a blog. I would rather enjoy having the time to do a blog. Most of the blogs I browse now are either on deviantart or tumblr. Picture blogs as they are called. Picture blogs are great especially if you are an aspiring artist. They give inspiration and enlighten you to persevere through the art world. A nice art blog I really like is actually a part tutorial blog. https://doxiequeen1.wordpress.com/ is a sewing blog by an 18-19 year old girl by the name of Angela in Long Island, Queens.
She shows her passion in pursuing fashion in costume creations. I love the time she takes to properly explain her process as if you could create along with her. She tries her best to take step by step pictures, though sometimes she falls short. Her purpose is not to teach, it is to share, which I think she accomplishes well. Another blog I like is an art blog on deviantart. Before I link it, I would like to explain that this person uses the site mainly as a portfolio, or a means to make side cash. http://maruuki.deviantart.com/ . I am personally envious of her time management. Seeing her updates everyday inspire me to strive for more in my artwork.
As for a blog that I don't personally enjoy, I would have to say I don't like buzzfeed.com. They have grown into a blog where they have become the written embodiment of society. Not a good society either, more of the stereotypical society we all tried to avoid. If you accidentally click on a link of video from them, it doesn't go away. It is like a cockroach, extremely desperate and determined which can be a bad thing. Blogging itself is not bad and if you can do it, just try not to be annoying about it.
I am the same way on not informing people about my life. I find it very difficult even with my own friends and family. The sewing blog is really cool! I can mend clothes and make simple pieces, but her stuff is way intricate.
ReplyDeleteI actually follow the same sewing blog because I also love looking at her completed projects. What a cool coincidence : ) (now if only I knew how to sew)
ReplyDeleteSamme--Your blog is coming along nicely. You have some interesting topics and points for discussion. Keep digging into analysis to create significance for your audience. You have pretty good visual support. I am assuming the second entry is Entry #2, but I don't know for sure because it is not labeled as such (you labeled on your third entry and put your own title in). Also, if you are going to call your entries "issues" make sure to be consistent. There is an issue 1 and an issue 3, but no 2.
