Leading Factors for my Blogging

It doesn't take a lot to just write a blog but it does take time and effort to write a blog on something your very passionate about and know or want to know more about. Its been kind of difficult for myself to get the hang of this writing style but with research and learning a lot from other blogs, it has created an easier path to lead me into becoming a better writer.

A great blog can consist of many things but it's how you put those things on paper, or in this case how you type your writing correctly in an understandable way for your audience. I went through a couple blogs writing about similar issues, concerns, or information about the court and found that many had different writing styles which kept a good variety in what was eye catching and wasn't boring to read.

One particular blog was all about the Bronx court system which was informational and gave an insight of what type of organizations are being held to try to change the lives of former citizens living in the Bronx, New York. Many videos and photographs are shown that tie in with each blog being written. Specifically, there was one blog about the graffiti clean up which explained when, where, who was involved, and what time this event occurred. It gave a before and after picture of the wall they were working on to show how much better the city streets can make their state look like improvement is being made. It also consists of many quotes from people who have been involved or simply just seen the progression in their state, stating how successful these events have been and supports all the main issues that have been broken down by the people of New York. It's interesting to me that the quotes are even put in a different color than the other writing which is done in order and makes it easier to pull out of the text. Finally, how the text was written is well organized, broken down in nice sized paragraphs, and given with a lot of information. There are also links on the right hand side that give extended information for readers to see.

Blogs are exciting and are another way that can teach you about what's going on in the world and what new information is out there that can be easily understood. With the right techniques, word choice, images/videos, subheadings, research, and information about the topics being written, blogs can be the new fashionable and interesting way of describing your own opinions and facts about a situation.

  1. I am glad you are discussing sources! This one sounds intriguing. But make sure to name it clearly right when you mention it in the text, and fill out that works cited fully. Keep going--you're on to something.
