Our first assignment for English class was to find at least two blogs and read them. After searching through several, I finally decided on reading two from the TLC website.
One of the blogs that I read was from an episode on the show What Not To Wear. I absolutely love this show because I can pick up on several facts about fashion by watching it. This show is based on giving people makeovers, but it is helpful to the general public. The first blog that I read was from the episode, "From Romper Room to Va-Va-Voom."
The author is identified on the website and it looks more professional, based on the logos. The website is classy and organized, rather than busy and excessive. The blog was a basic synopsis of the show in the author's point of view. It is obvious that it was designed to inform viewers about the show. The blog also brings in more publicity to TLC. It allows viewers to post comments or give any feedback. On the side of the website are related links and recent posts which make it easier to view other episodes without having to search for them.
The second blog that I read was also from the TLC website, but it was a different episode. It was entitled, "From Wilted Flower to Blossoming Bouquet." This blog was a bit more interesting because it actually concerned a former child star from the hit show "Blossom." It was interesting to see how this child actor had abandoned her style. Once again this blog had a place for readers to make comments.
It is obvious that blogs can be personal, professional, informative, persuasive, or anything. There is not a set definition for a blog. These blogs were designed to be professional, which makes them less appealing to the eye. However, they do serve a purpose to inform and promote the show. Blogging also allows the author a chance to share their thoughts and feelings with others.
