Blog Review: Word Explosions
Wordexplosions.blogspot.com is an overall a good blog. The bloggers explain their points well and link their thoughts together. There are some class assignments that are missing, such as chapter reviews. Also, a title for the assignments would be very helpful to help the readers identify what is the blog topic rather than just showing the dates. As said earlier, the blog looks decent and bloggers are doing a great job conveying their thoughts together in the group posts, and explain their individual statement in their own posts.
The blog does lack a few aspects of our class's Blog Quality Criteria list which are: Frequency of the posts; Voice; Passion; Expertise; Good writing; Aesthetically Pleasing; User-friendly; Originality/Interesting; and Relevance.
The post on this blog is somewhat frequent with their posts. They are some that I think are missing like the Chapter reviews from few of the members. As stated on the image below this paragraph, "One does not simply blog twice a week." But if the blogger(s) does only blog twice a week, the blogs has to have the other Blog Quality Criteria.
The Voice is some of their posts are somewhat boring. They are state their opinions but does not completely explain why they end up with that opinion. It appears like they are truly not delineating what their thoughts are. There is no excitement in the voice. Thus, there are no traces of passion or expertise.
Good writing is shown in all of the blogs. Grammar usage and the use of punctuation is well-used, and overall, clean.
Other aspects such as aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly are pleasing. There isn't much of aesthetics that appears besides the background or the pictures are oriented in every posts (cause there has be one in every single post). It is somewhat user-friendly from the stand point the small blocks for every post can be easily accessed.
There originality of the post with their standpoints and all their statements are relevant.
