Before my English class I had no experience with blogs. It is something I heard about, but had no idea what is it exactly. After researching, I realized that the blogs are a wonderful addition to our social media. It is a way to hear the most current news in the world, to learn about the latest discoveries in science and technology, to travel in time and to new places, to communicate with people from all over the world. The information in the blogs is presented in different ways depending on the author’s style. As a blogger I am able to choose who to trust and to follow, who to discuss the topics I am interested in, which pictures and videos I want to see, and all this is just one click away. I can express my views on topics concerning our health, lifestyle, environment, food, and medicine. As bloggers, we are able to learn about new findings from our history and hear news about political, social, and sports events in the whole world. We can enjoy the work of artists and witness the achievements of scientists at the same time.
Funny blogs
I like the “America blog”. With a logo: “News- a great nation deserves the truth” this blog is a collaboration of news in the areas of politics, commercials, real estate business, gossip, etc.These themes can satisfy the interests of a big audience. For me the most impressive features about this blog are its tone and voice. I think that the authors are giving a very honest, open discussion about different issues. Serious topics like international and domestic politics are written in a humorous style, so nobody could be offended. I like the design of the blog. It is presented in a very well organized fashion and approachable manner. The topics are displayed with their titles and corresponding pictures. Under each title there are a couple of sentences expressing the essence of the article. Clicking on the picture or the title brings up the whole blog for the audience to read.
For me personally the most interesting blog was: “Sitting can be deadly, even if you exercise regularly” by Dr. Mark Thoma. He discusses the effects of sedentary lifestyle on our health. This topic is of big interest for me not only professionally, but also personally. I have a job which is performed in front of computers and also spend hours studying. Sitting for 12 hours is a very big health concern. I adore the “cute” picture of the couch potatoes, but the resolution is to exercise.

The blog “Postsecret” has an interesting style, but I do not like the tone. The blogs are presented like post cards with written messages on them. The messages are usually with grotesque and sarcastic nature. They present different topics, but most of the time they are about the bloggers’ personal lives. The language used in some of the blogs expresses negative attitude and I personally do not like it.
“The Daily Beast” blog presents to its readers the most recent events not only in the country, but also in the World. It is a combination of political events, an entertainment business, technology, health, fashion, and books. It has very open and direct style of communication with the audience. This blog is very entertaining for me. Even topics which I did not know anything about, I was interested reading, because of the way the information is presented. It is very easy to read, simple language, so can be comprehended by everybody, not only by professionals.
I enjoy reading blogs that catch my attention. I realize that I have to learn a lot about writing a good quality blog. I am sure I will enjoy the journey together with my fellow bloggers!
