Post #1

Terriers Industry

1) Doggie's Blog
http://touille.blogspot.com/
This blog consists mainly of photographs of dogs that are unique in some way. Some of the photos and videos posted feature dogs in festive holiday dress, while some are simply beautiful, scenic shots that celebrate the species. The format is simple to view, with a largely visual componant and very little text. Due to the simple format and content, the blogs audience is likely quite varied. Both serious dog enthusiasts and those who simply appreciate animals on more basic level can enjoy the content. However it is not frequently updated, so the viewership is probably not too consistent.

2)Buster the Wired Fox Terror

The first thing that jumps out about this blog is the bright colors that draw the viewer in and urge him/her to learn more about the content. The content is a fairly even mix of text and visuals, and the text is unique because it is typed through the point of view of a dog. The "dog" talks about world events of interest, political viewpoints, and even its day-to-day experiences. Like the first blog, this one is also easy to view. The audience is also mainly the same. However, this one is updated fairly frequently. These updates encourage continuing readership, and add greatly to the appeal of the blog.

3) Scuba the Muscle Boy

This blog is simpler in its design than the prior one. The background is plain pale green, and the archived blogs are listed to the left of the current messages. The content is mainly text at the top (more recent entries) which may possibly dissuade new readers who are not familiar with the format. Older posts have more visual content. Similar to the prior blog, this one is also narrated through the point of view of a dog. The audience is probably dog-lovers, but not younger children/teenagers because of the mature tone and somewhat mature subject matter (such as plants and animal health care) of the posts. Overall, it's visually neat and pleasant as well as entertaining to view.
