    1. "It's Gonna be All Write"- Emree Sato
    We chose this blog because it has a very cute timeline of her growing up in the title box.
    2. "Writing What's Left Unspoken"- Jocelyn B
    We chose this blog because it has pictures that show who she is (hobbies, friends, etc.).

    Blogs:
    Write To Tell by Camryn A. Tabiolo
    Quality > Quantity by Maurice

    We chose the "Write To Tell" blog due to it's amazing design and organization. The design screams minimalism and simplicity, which is something we think is important when creating a blog and using it. In addition to this, it is very straight-forward; nothing complicated and messy. The background is very easy on the eyes since it is white. It shows that it is very clean. The picture in the center of the blog is appealing and provokes the viewer to want to further read the blog.

    "Quality > Quantity" by Maurice is another fine example of cleanliness and organization. Unlike the blog above, this blog includes pages and additional elements on the page that makes it easier to navigate through the blog. Since there is nothing that stands out, it makes the blog simple and easier for the viewer to read through the posts in the blog.

  4. Rocky and Angela chose It's Gonna Be All Write by Emree Sato because it has a clever title and it's a very creative blog. We also liked Keep Calm and Write On by Chelsea because the background looked really nice and it was very discriptive. Our last choice was Ryan Is Always Write by Ryan Ramones, because his background shows his true passion about his hobbies.

    Favorite Blogs:
    Emree's blog was really creative such as how she added pictures of how she transformed into who she is now from when she was a baby. Additionally, the way how she chose the background to match her title's background. Lastly, we liked how she explained her topic by using flyers.

    Brad's Blog was also a very good blog, his background was very appealing to the eye. The font is at a size where it kept the reader from straining their eyes. The organization of his writing kept it interesting. Lastly his work was good overall.

  7. Kari and Javon: We enjoyed the Writers Block blog by Trinna T because, I felt the template of the blog was simple, yet pleasing to the eye. Furthermore, we particularly enjoyed the background, because the clouds added a nice pop of color to the blog. Concluding, why we enjoyed the blog.

    Aaron: I liked Write To Tell by Camryn T because her blog was simple and it wasn't to busy, which is what I would want for my blog. I also enjoyed the template because I feel like everything was placed nicely.

    1. "Writing what's left unspoken" it has a cute and unique background and template. The colors of the blog is eye catching but it still does its job of blending in together.
    2. "Write State of Mind" the background was captivating but it took our eyes off the words, so we only focused on the background. In our opinion we think that both the background and the words of the blog should be captivating
