Anthony,
ReplyDeleteGreat improvement from last week. Much more thought and time went into this blog and it is greatly appreciated.
Although this blog post was longer and more detailed, there is still one thing missing, your own voice. Blog writing is almost like a online journal. You can share your own thoughts, opinions, and experiences regarding the topics in this form of writing. In the introduction of the topic try, for example, including something from your own personal experience. That way readers will be able to get a sense of who is writing, and almost create a connection to the author, especially if they feel that they can relate. I personally look for this sort of thing when I'm looking for advice, help, or even reassurance on doing something. The thought of, "ok, at least I'm not the only one" is something I like having. I also felt that your points were good ones, but maybe try to include an example with some of them in order to ensure your idea is clear, and the reader knows what it is you mean.
Besides those few suggestions I thought the image was a good choice because it was a representation of the topic of your blog. I also liked that you broke up the topic into main questions that a person asks themselves, and looks for answers to, as well as, concluding with general tips. Overall, nice job with this blog! I look forward to reading your upcoming post.
