I'm sorry that I misunderstood the requirements of this assignment. Hopefully I can make up by doing this right now.

Elements of a good BLOG.

         Every blogger wants their blog to be attractive to people. However, since blog readers are from all kinds of backgrounds, making a good blog that is generally liked becomes difficult. For me, here are 3 important elements that make up a good blog:

• Contents and Perspectives

        The contents in the blog should be relevant as well as in fashion. No matter what area the blog is about, its contents are supposed to provide readers useful information. Moreover, the bloger's perspectives should be unique and valuable. With these two facts, this blog can somehow inspire its readers.

• Design and Arrangement (Inc. pictures and music)

       Another critical element is the page design. A good blog is supposed to have a well arranged format. Every part of the blog should follow a certain style that represents the blogger's interests, professional, personality and so on. According to various surveys, most people prefer to looking at pictures or listening rather than looking at words. As a result, pictures and music are also very important elements of a good blog.

• Links

        Links of a blog can also be factors to determine whether the blog is a good one. Lots of people look at a blog's links to assum things about the blogger, such as authority, interests, and social status.



     I found two good blogs as examples. One is a personal blog, and the other is a professional one. Both of them are closely concerned about FASHION. I chose them because fashion is an eternal as well as current topic.

•      Professional :Really Petite

     Really Petite is a professional Fashion blog for petites. I choose it because it has the elements that I mentioned above to make it standing out. First of all, the page design is absolutely attractive to petites, and the format is clear and sweet. It teaches petites how to dress themselves, how to become attractive, and how to choose styles that fit for them. There are tons of pictures illustrating these "lessons". Readers can also shop in it, which is very convenient.

• Personal:Style Bubble

     Style Bubble is a personal blog of a girl who lives in UK. She posts her own stylelook on the blog as well as various kinds of fashion news. Although she makes this blog all by herself, Style Bubble has become one of the authorized references of fashion. In Style Bubble, photos are the leaders of the show. Also, her explainations of those fashion news are percise. What's more, the links on her page are amazing. Check any of them, and you will be surprised.
