My Blog Analysis

Template: I decided on my current format and template because of its clean fresh feel; brought about in a large part by the hazy mountainous background with crisp raindrops appearing to hang on the screen in the foreground. I decided on my design because it was fairly easy to navigate but still has many of the great benefits available through blogspot. I included both a short bio about me on the side-bar as well as an extended biography on a second page that can be accessed through the "About Me" tab to try and be thorough with getting the targetted material to the audience, while not being overwhelming by having the history of my life running down the side of my home page.

Title: I chose my title because I was tasked to create one that had included some thought and when I thought of this one I thought it to be fitting. This title applies to me as a person because of its quirky phrasing and unexpected nature.

Links: I did not add a section to my blog for links, but if I happen across or feel the need to share links in the future it will be an easy enough addition to make at that time.

Tools: I included a search bar for easy navigation through my blog as well as a short bio on my home page to give readers a glimpse of who I am. I also included an archive as an easy way to track what I have done to the blog and a translator in case I get any more cyber-visitors from Germany. The last addition I made was a BMI calculator because I've found having societal standards make you feel bad about yourself is always a good motivator.

I believe that this blog fits me as well as a blog can be expected to. I think that it sets the tone for the topics that will eventually be addressed on it, and if I change my mind on anything it is quite fortunately very easy to change. This is not my first blog using this site, so it is about what I expected. Blogspot has made some improvements since I last used the site but the basic format is still the same. I feel that this blogging experience will be a positive one through the course of this class, and it is definitely nice to break up the standard assignment procedure laid out in most english courses.
