good blog

What a good blog looks like

This post is compulsory and I was not really keen on doing it to be honest but than I found this blog http://fortymillionminutes.blogspot.com, I have not read all of the posts because of a lack of time but the first one from October 2013 called “Can you spare five minutes?” instantly caught my interest, got under my skin after just a few words and also got me thinking. A reaction I honestly did not expect when I first clicked on the link with that ominous name.

Another blog I quite liked was http://haddockandhotdog.blogspot.co.at/2013/11/once-upon-time-in-america.html, I choose to look at this blog because I wanted to find an explanation on that quite crazy name, what I found were post about various topics, some of them I liked some of them I did not find that interesting, like the one about chestnuts.

The last blog I want to mention is http://www.evas-english-blog.blogspot.co.at/2014/12/american-accent-wanted.html, the name does not sound really creative but some of her post where really funny and even helpful especially the one in which she described the problem she has with the English language because she is from Tirol and the one before that called “American accent wanted”.

So to sum up I would say that a good blog does not necessarily have to have a creative, or outstanding name, although it throws attention to it, it is more important that the whole blog is appealing like the headings of the blogs, how a topic is presented, … I also think it is more interesting to read about things you never heard about or thought about before, even if they are serious topics like organ donation, than to read about e.g. dictionaries.
