Entry #1 From the Writer's Block


What do I look for in Blogs?

    When it come to blogs there is a wide variety of things people enjoy out of them. The things i look for in a blog that i know will keep me hooked in reading them every time are the ones that have a better look overall and are neatly organized. I have short attention span so for me images are what get my attention for example images of video games or food are my favorite.The three blogs i recently read and i enjoyed were "The Pioneer Woman blog, The basics of a good Instagram caption, and Ask Dave Taylor" and i'll explain why.

How does tone play a part in blogs? 

    The tone in blogs can set a mood for your readers, whether it's a friendly tone or a professional one. There is a lot of consideration to do when thinking about this approach to your audience. The biggest factor would be is if you're doing this in a professional environment or on a more personal one. This two things have to be considered highly because they can have huge impacts on how it's delivered. Blogging for a company can force you to be more careful on what you say compared to doing a blog on a social media platform where it's more freelance writing than anything.


Writing with style

  Once we figure out titles wen then proceed to the different type of styles in blogging. The most common type of styles are one with lots of images and instructions for example cooking blogs. These type of writing succeed a lot because if the author can add images that will catch the reader's attention immediately then surely they will be invested in reading through the whole thing.There is some exceptions depending on what the reader or the audience is interested in as well. A good example is a some recent blogs i read that contradict some of my likes in reading.

    First example, in the blog "Ask Dave Taylor" the blog he wrote has only one image, which is something i don't like. The reason i ended up reading and liking it was the fact that i felt connected to the reader from some of the experiences he has had for most of his career keeping it precise and neatly written. An example of a blog i did not enjoy was "200+ Instagram Captions That Go Viral (and How ChatGPT Can Help)" due to some common reasons. When i read a blog about a social media platform that is know for uploading pictures of things i expect to see some imagery added to it. The blog was neat, tone friendly but i feel the lack of images can cause people to keep scrolling.

Purpose of Blogging?


    Each one of us has their own motives for writing our own blogs, and like we said earlier it can be because you work for a big company or you are just someone who likes to share stories of their own personal life experiences. The main point at the end is being able to keep your audience hooked making sure that they understand the purpose of your blog. You do all of that while adding the aspect of a well organized and visually appealing blog can guarantee you immediate success in the blogging community,

Entry #6 : Rise of the Indie Games

  The Rise of Indie Games: How Small Studios Changed the Gaming World Setting the Stage For a long time, video games were dominated by huge studios with massive budgets — think Call of Duty or Assassin’s Creed . But in the last decade, something amazing happened: small, independent developers started making games that captured players’ hearts and even challenged the big studios. These “indie games” have grown from niche passion projects to major cultural hits. What makes an “Indie” game? The biggest thing about and “Indie” game is it’s made by small company or a group of developers who don’t necessarily have the financial backing of a company. While they have aren’t well established on the financial side, it makes them independent and these developers can take creative risks, tell unique stories, and experiment with gameplay in ways larger studios usually avoid. Games like Undertale and Celeste explore themes like morality, mental health, and personal growth — showing that games...

Entry #4: Protecting the Players — Head Safety in the NFL

  Entry #4: Protecting the Players — Head Safety in the NFL Football is one of the most exciting sports to watch, but behind the action lies a serious issue — head safety. For years, NFL players have suffered concussions that can lead to long-term brain injuries like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The league has made progress with better helmets, concussion protocols, and sideline evaluations, but players still face pressure to return too soon. Head safety isn’t just an NFL problem — it’s a message that reaches all levels of football. Young athletes see pros pushing through injuries, thinking that’s what toughness means. The NFL has the power to change that mindset by showing that protecting your brain is just as important as winning a game. Because no championship is worth risking your future health. In recent years, fans have also become more aware of this issue, calling for greater accountability from teams and coaches. The conversation around player safety has started ...
