My Favorite Blogs

Well, I know you're all dying to know my opinion on the blogs of this class, so here we go =)


Blog Award Categories
Best Personal Blog- For best personal blog, I nominated my friend Jack for his blog Some Trans Lady. I nominated him because I believe this blog really was the most intensely personal, and he risked and shared the most of all the personal blogs I've read this quarter. It also manages to be entertaining and informative.

Best Design/Visuals- For best visuals, I had to choose Charity's Six and a Writer. I think she's the only one who put any effort into pictures and visuals, really. She's a great photographer and it shows on her blog, and she did a great job of mixing text and images.

Best Hobby/Specific Interest Blog- Will's Mariner's Blog was my favorite special interest blog, mostly because he didn't solely talk about the Mariners. It kept me interested even though I don't care about baseball.

Most Improved Blog- For most improved I also nominate Jack and Some Trans Lady, because Jack started out writing about Skyrim (I subject I do not find interesting) in a fairly abstract way I didn't quite understand, and then moved to a more intensely personal documentation of life as a trans woman.

Most Interactive Blog- The most interactive blog I'd have to say is definitely My Cat Thinks I'm Funny by Natalie. All of her posts inspired people to tell their own stories related to the topic and we discussed her blog posts so often in class, they definitely inspired the class to interact with each other and with her blog.

Blog “Most Likely to Succeed” (in whatever way you define it)- I also chose Natalie as the blog most likely to succeed, because it is so hilarious. It's like Jenna Marbles in blog form. I hope she keeps up the blog after this class ends, because I enjoy it so much.
