Entry #1. Learning About Blogs
What do I think about blogs? That is the question...I have always wanted to be a blogger, but had my doubts. What would I write about? Why would people care? As I sat behind my desk at work one morning, I began to explore the world of blogs and found that people blog about absolutely anything.
I find blogs very artistic, although it doesn't use paint or clay (or really any type of art material), it is an expression of oneself, life, love and sometimes business. Some blogs are really refreshing, in the sense that they can be funny, educational, and all around fun without being transparent like a random Facebook status update.
I am absolutely in love with PostSecret Blog! This is an amazing blog where people create artistic anonymous postcards that includes a secret about themselves and sends them to the blogger. The postcards are literally made of anything such as newspaper, collage magazine pictures, and some even include items like teabags and keys. Some of them are funny, some are sad, but most of all they are relatable. One of my favorites is this one;

My least favorite blog that I have come across was Suri's Burn Book. I did not like this blog because the blogger is pretending to be the seven year old daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise and if you are familiar with the burn book in the film Mean Girls then you pretty much guessed it. Although, it is not as severe as the book in the film, she takes pictures of celebrity's children and comments on what they are wearing and doing. To me, it is a little too juvenile. Here is the link if you are interested in checking it out for yourself, http://surisburnbook.tumblr.com/.
I like your enthusiasm about blogs. I don't like Suri's Burn Book, either. I agree that it is "juvenile" and little mean.
ReplyDeleteI love the ultrasound picture! It's sad yet makes you think about that sort of sadness a different way.
ReplyDeleteI like the ultrasound picture as well! Interesting way to think about a postcard but sometimes you need something to shock your audience or open the readers eyes. I've thought about blogging as well but in the sense of couponing and tips but I am so busy I don't know how I would find time to blog. I am amazed at some of these bloggers and I wonder how busy or open their lives are and how they manage to find time to blog.
