DISCUSS:
I think this part is covered by the review.
PLAN:
It's clear now that ALL posts need to have a picture included, which I will immediately correct after I finish this post. At least all of my posts, as they are mine to change.
WRITE:
Today I had a look at my fellow students blogs, particularly 'Five Brains are Better Than One'. Overall, they did an excellent job but, in order to write a three paragraph essay, I must point out some of their few faults. To be honest it's not so much corrections but more like suggestions so hopefully I'm not stepping on any toes. One possible suggestion would be make the red background behind the text black so there might be more contrast in the blog's overall look. The red patterned background on the sides really pleasing to the eye and I think the contrast would help it stand out more, making the blog itself more eye-catching and presentable to possible readers. However, this does not mean the blog doesn't look good already. It's dark red look makes it stand out but not overwhelming making it fairly tasteful and pleasing to the eye. But the black background could help it stand out more.
Another thought is that I really like their description, "We want to portray what goes on in five very different minds meeting randomly at English Composition 121 at Front Range Community College." and I think they could play a lot more with that theme that they so far have. They should try quoting each other, make it clear that they are paying attention to one anther's thoughts and then explain in their own posts why or if they agree/disagree with their fellow peers. This would make it feel a lot more interactive and provide an interesting journey for everyone to follow.
At last I give my final thought: effort has been clearly given to this blog to make it presentable and pleasing to the eye. If I were to grade this according to the blog quality criteria, I would give them a definite 'A'. The font they chose is easy to discern and the color white makes it stand out against it's background. They are very good at persistently posting pictures onto each of their blogs and the writing is clear and concise with a valuable touch of humor here and there. It was an enjoyable, as well as informative, read.
