Entry #1. Blogs

I enjoy most blogs. I prefer casual/professional blogs over other types of blogs because they provide information while still being enjoyable to read. Some blogs seem to have no reason to exist. Other blogs have too much information to process.

I dislike gossip blogs because they seem unimportant and to me, not entertaining. For example, http://perezhilton.com is full of "scandals" and rumors that are insignificant. Some people, I'm sure, enjoy reading these types of blogs, but I can live without them.

Other blogs, like http://fairlanguages.com/page/2/ , have a clear purpose. I like this blog because it has all kinds of information about language including other resources for language learning. I like that it is clear, organized, and easy to navigate.

One blog I really don't like is http://www.living4impact.com . Looking at the title of the blog, I thought it would be about raising awareness about one thing or another. After looking through the blog I'm not sure the author thought it through or knew what they wanted to write about. One post is about taking care of rabbits, the next maid service in California, one about online casinos, and another about plumbing service in Canada. None of the posts seem related to each other. I know I never want to read it again.

After reading the last blog, I understand why it is important to have a clear purpose, audience, and tone when writing. Otherwise, the writing doesn't make any sense to the reader.
