As you could imagine there are many
different styles to blogging, and the style reflects the bloggers’ personality.
Some are mostly text with very few pictures and links. These tend to be full of
information but not always the most entertaining. Others have little text but a
lot of links and pictures. These are more exciting to read but tend to be less instructive.
Aside from
the style of the posts the content and writing technique varied as well. Some were
advertising on how to start a small business and others were just their own personal
ramblings about random subjects. Personally I like a good balance of a few
pictures with the majority of the blog being text, this way when you read you
get a lot of information but at the same time it isn't a drag to read. However I
also understand that the number of words isn't as important as the quality. People
can write pages of vague meaningless text and get no point across, while
someone else could write a few sentences and make a great statement.
To me a
blog is all about information, if a blog lacks information it’s useless because even one
that lacks pictures can still be successful. My goal as a blogger is to make a
blog that is both very informative and decently interesting to read. I think a
good balance for this would be one picture per major topic in each blog entry. For
example in my entry entitled LOUD! I had two pictures because I had two
major topics. One was relating to the fact I ask a lot of questions and need a
lot of answers, and the other was in relation to the vocabulary from my chemistry
class. I think if there isn't a balance of text and pictures the blog will
either lack information or be so dull it’s never read.
