Blog Research

Before I began my production, I decided to look at other blogs from previous A2 Media students in order to identify the good and also bad aspects of the blog. This I believed would enhance my own blog as I will be able to acknowledge and incorporate good methods into my own blog such as using links to other websites. Also assessing other blogs I felt would help me identify the downfalls with some of the blogs and avoid them in terms of my own production.
