Com 337-- Find a blog

1. What appeals to you? What's the blogger's voice? Does it speak to you?

2. Does the blogger do the kind of writing that Donald Murray talks about? What can you infer about his/her attitude toward the craft from reading the blog? How do those attitudes compare to Murray's? Do the same with techniques.

3. What ideas, techniques, attitudes ... and anything else that comes to mind, whether I'm mentioning it or not ... can you use in your own blogging? Other types of writing that you do?

4. What else about the blog is important that I'm forgetting to ask you about?

1. I often read the Hit and Run Blog on Reason.com. This blog appeals to me, because it has a libertarian voice and covers current events and public policy.

2. You can certainly infer the authors attitude about the issue from reading the blog. The techniques are slightly different than Murray's, since this blog is highly opinion based and deals with public policy.

3. Ideas that they use that come to mind include using multimedia cources to add to the blog. Also, the blog tends to use quotes from official sources to confirm its statements.

4. This blog deals with up-to-date current events that are often not headline news, and may therefore be overlooked in other media.
