Blogs

              Blogs are basically a website that keep individuals updated and allows business or companies to share information. They can also be used for certain entries like opinions, knowledge or just random advice. Blogs can range from professional to personal and you can also write about almost any subject. The blog Hollywood life focuses on entertainment and the most recent memes and popular viral videos. https://hollywoodlife.com/ This blog has the recent news on celebrities with pictures, headlines and the beginning of the article where you can click to read the full story. For example, as of nine hours ago, Prine Harry and Meghan Markle were seen at the Invictus Game closing ceremony and it appears that the two had a great time.

Clicking on the story, you can read the story of how Meghan Markle didn’t attend events during the day but showed up that night to celebrate her husband’s 39th birthday and they looked great together despite the rumors of their marriage falling apart. Harry actually created the games for wounded veterans and servicemen and it was held in Germany. Back to the blog, it was very well organized and descriptive. With many quotes and the author’s purpose for this post would be an update on a Royal celebrity who gave up his title as attended an event with his wife, who has a lot of publicity circling around her. What I didn’t like about this blog was that it focused more on the negatives than positives of Prince Harry’s life. He attended out of respect for a program he created and this actually focuses more on his marriage that holds a lot of attention and even talks about how he was interviewed but asked not to be questioned about his children and then the article went on about drama regarding his marriage.

              A more organized and similar blog is Fast Company. The layout of this article is well organized and has a picture on the top of the page and four sections you can choose from that switch articles and show the top stories. As you scroll down, it shows the articles more in depth and has pictures regarding the article and a section you can click on to read more information. For example, they have an article that talks about world impact, and the story is How Maine got more than 100,00 residences to install heat pumps. https://www.fastcompany.com/  I personally like this blog because it has a more personal appeal and talks about how the author grew up in Vermont and only a few days a year it would get hot and they’d have to turn on fans. She started the blog off trying to relate to her audience and then started stating facts about Maine’s weather change and how home are built for certain climates.
