TechCrunch: Blog Review

The Second blog I picked for review is TechCrunch. I choose this blog because, even though I am an IT guy, I am really not into this kind of site and I wanted to venture out of my element a little. At first glance I do not mind the layout, it has a left and right column with an off centered main post column that goes from a pinned post to text titles and previews for the previous posts. The content is not just computer related but instead its based on technology, hence the title. I do like how they mix it up from post titles up and down to side to side mixes of videos and other content to break up the solid stream of posts.

Overall I like the blog, other than the over sized font, I really do not have much to say about the layout. The content is diverse enough to keep new people coming in and also to attract different types of visitors. I like this move and I think that it is crucial in the blog world to keep solid page views, instead of catering to one particular topic or thing. Cheers, Michael Bridges

    TechCrunch left me feeling out of my element, too. This is definitely a strange brew. Cheers back at you!

Weebly: Review

Weebly: At first view of weebly I thought it was an educational site only. It wasn't until I clicked around that I noticed it had a publishing feature that was similar to a blog. I have picked this site to be the one I will make a post for this weeks assignment. I actually like the layout of the design page it is similar to a blog site or even a picture editing software. I found the features pretty interesting and the options surprised me by how many there actually were. I still am pretty confused how this site is related to education but I am sure that is a function I did not check out because I felt it was unnecessary for this weeks assignment. Overall I dug this site and I will continue to tool around and check out its features. Cheers, Michael Bridges UPDATE: Weebly wanted money to make a post, so I discovered how to do it on Wikidot and its pretty cool, I now take back everything I said on its review :).

Turned Out a Punk Podcast: Review

This podcast is cool because it digs deep into peoples lives who were brought up in the Punk music scene. The producer is in a band that is good so he has the inside scoop and the ability to get good quests. The podcast always starts the same way which takes listeners back in time to when the person first heard punk music or the genre all the way til present day. It is good and you will want more.
