8A: Straight A's

             
  For my freshman inquiry class at SCSU it was mandatory for everyone to make a blog and record the event, successes and failure of our first semester freshman. Now, for most reading, my blog illustrates my stories and experiences and opinions and advice to freshman on how to survive your first year.
                This week, I’m going to look into the blogs of others. Which blogs do I believe are worthy of the title of “A+” work. What makes a blog so good is its ability to keep someone reading. This blog should constantly keep you interested and you should be able to take away some sort of lesson or information that you will intend to use in the future. Along with that, a blogger wants you to continue to come back and read theirs in the future.  As I went through the various blogs of Professor Guarino’s INQ classes, the two that stood out to me were, “An Owls Mind” by Kali (http://anowlsmind.blogspot.com/) and “Behind Closed Doors” by Gabby (http://behindddoors.blogspot.com/). In my opinion, these blogs exemplify “A+” work for many reasons.
                First, let’s start out with, “An Owls Mind” by Kali. Her blog is insightful and gives a plentiful amount of information on each of her topics. I love how she used different fonts to draw people’s attention to important aspects. But my favorite part is how she includes quotes in some of her posts that have to do with the topic. For example under failure she puts, “"Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor." (Truman Capote.) This gives people a chance to understand it through others eyes or give a topic new prospective.
                The second blog I believe shows “A+” work is, “Behind Closed Doors” by Gabby. I enjoy this blog because I think it is very informative, yet it gives a more personal aspect to it. She tries to relate to the reader with things she has faced in her life before. She also includes pictures that represent what the post is about.

                Though everyone’s blog is really great and had great aspects of their posts, the blogs I chosen were very well rounded, yet they had specific things that made them stand out. But keep blogging everyone, strive for that A+!!
