Blog about an English site that's related to one of your interests, (an interest that's stated in your bio) In a three paragraph post answer the following questions:

First, however, share your site of interest with your partner. Ask each other the following questions:


paragraph one:
Who is behind the site? Is there one person or many people behind this blog? What do you know about them? What can you find out about them on google? How long has the blog been around?

paragraph two:
What is the tone of the site? (informal or formal) Why is the site engaging? What emotions or ideas does it provoke? What is it about the overall design and content that might keep people coming back again and again? Are there a lot of links on the site? What questions does the blog ask?

paragraph three:
What can be done to improve the site? What would you do differently? (be sure to write all this in a positive tone)
