Blog Write-up/ peer editing.

This blog tells the story by having all the different posts go into detail about our main about tab. Each post gives a unique detail into the story and shows different aspects that the story could go in to. Before reading the post it is important to read the about tab story in order to give the reader a brief overview about what is going on in the over all blog.
The posts are arranged so that the reader will be able to find more about the story in different aspects. We have posts that coorispond with the story and a post that gives actual facts, but still cooridsponds with the story. Overall, all the posts will have something to with the about tab story making it easier for the reader to follow and get more details.
The factors that inspired us would be the fact that sharks are awesome! It was interesting to find out different facts about sharks and why they attack. It was also interesting to find out what to do in the event that a shark actually attacks and how to prevent it from happening in the first place. It is also interesting because of how the movies and entertainment show sharks. They make them look like they attack anyone who gets in the water. The actual fact is they don't and the posts on this blog will show you that.
Our favorite part of the project was researching about sharks because it is an interesting topic and it was great to learn about. The least favorite part of the project was working with the program blogger because it started out really confusing. After awhile it got better, but it was just confusing not knowing what to do.

  1. The individual posts have good information; however, there are no links and at times it gets a bit lengthy. I also think that the layout was not as effective as it could have been. The stories go together well and I like the obituary part because it is something I do not think many other groups would have thought of.

  2. The documents posted were interesting and effective. There were good pictures that made the documents appealing. The use of graphics really enhanced the blog. The shark awareness and obituary documents were very interesting and made me want to learn more about their shark attack story.

  3. The about page was very intimidating. I first opened it and all I see is words. While it was well written I do no feel like I need to go into the blog to understand the story. It is also graphic, which is good for adults, but maybe there should be a warning to ward parents from letting their children read it with them.

  4. Your blog is visually appealing with the photographs, however being someone who is very ADD about research and reading on the internet, I wasn't able to navigate your page that easily and find your articles very easily. Your information is really well thought out.

  5. I liked your idea for your blog. I think the story line is fun. The type of documents you chose to do are unique. I found it easy to navigate. You included lots of graphic pictures, which could be a good and bad thing depending on who the audience is.

  7. I like the layout of your blog its fun to look around, very attractive. I think the police report looks to detailed but then i guess its suppose to be very informative it just looks a bit messy and hard to follow besides that i really liked the images and it makes the reading less boring and keeps your attention.

  8. I also think you should put the police report on a pdf file or something and add a link on the page just because when its in a post it doesn't really seem real and reliable?
