The first blog I reviewed is Chassity's blog, Communication Happens
http://communicationhappensblog.blogspot.com/. I really like how clean
this blog looks, and it looks very professional. I also like the drop
down options under the “Sidebar” tab to customize the view to the
readers’ personal taste. Personally, I like the “Magazine” view but I
found that not all of the views work (such as “Snapshot”) so that would
be something to update in the future. Also, I found the right hand menu
not to be very user friendly. I actually
found it by accident when I moused over it looking for information
about the author and I think if it was more visible on the page it may
make the blog a bit easier to navigate.
The Expert Witness Communicator blog
http://the-expert-witness.blogspot.com/ has a lot going on. I think it
is a fantastic place for William to advertise his book and found that
very exciting. He also has a lot of information on his blog, which is
valuable,
but I think it may be helpful to categorize them with sub-menus or
something to make them a bit easier to navigate. Also, this might just
be my computer but I have to scroll from side-to-side to see the full
blog page, something I don’t prefer and don’t recommend.
If the page setup was narrowed, or perhaps the margins were narrowed a
bit, I think the blog could be more user friendly. Also, I really like
the intro description under the page name, but I found it hard to read
when the white text overlaps with the white
on the background image. Maybe that text color could be changed to a
grey or blue to be easier to read.
Dolly's blog, Communication Today blog http://lilgunny.blogspot.com/ is bright and
cheerful. Based on the color scheme, font colors and pictures I feel
like I know a little bit about the author and she seems like a friendly
writer. I would recommend adding additional
pages to the blog to showcase other pieces she has written and as this
is a blog for professional use I think it would be ideal to use her name
rather than “Travel Hound” in the “About Me” section. If this is too
personal, perhaps initials or Ms. [initial
from last name] to continue the professional vibe.
