Some Interesting Blogs

            I thought I'd open up my blogging account by analysing and recommending a few blogs i've been following recently. Although they aren't directly related to my own blog, they're all interesting in their own right and well worth a look.

Penelope Trunk Blog       (blog.penelopetrunk.com)

Penelope Trunk is a co-founder of Brazen Careerist, a career management tool for next-generation professionals. Her career advice runs in 200 newspapers and this strong level of experience shines through in this well-presented personal blog.

Trunk’s widely acclaimed advice combined with a simple yet aesthetically pleasing web-layout makes this blog a must read for anyone seeking to further their career.

Formula 1 Blog       (formula1blog.com)

            Possibly the best un-official source for all of the latest Formula One news, Formula 1 Blog mixes the headlines with topical debates to create an extremely informative webpage. With a healthy mix of high-quality images and a great choice of colour scheme this blog is extremely easy to navigate with all of the content being well written and simple to digest. As well as the latest news stories, Formula 1 Blog allows you to engage in discussions spanning the entire history of Formula One allowing you to really get involved in one of the most illustrious sports of all time.

The Daily Muse      (thedailymuse.blog.co.uk)

            This is a simple but interesting webpage which epitomises the everyday value of non-specific blogging. Choosing to write about whatever they want whenever they want, the author uses facts and personal opinions to produce humorous and informative posts. Although the page layout is quite basic, it ultimately contributes to the blog’s charm with a good use of pictures to help illustrate the writer’s points.

EQ Music Blog        (www.eqmusicblog.com)

            The EQ Music Blog is a great way to keep up with the popular music scene and a decent place to start looking for new music. An attractive but not distracting background behind a simple linear text layout makes the blog easy to navigate and its content easy to digest. The page features loads of easy ways to find music through a range of popular social networking sights like Facebook and Twitter whilst avoiding too much advertisement and general clutter. As a result this informative blog is easy to navigate and well worth a look.

Sporty Blog             (sportyblog.com)

            As basic as they come but thoroughly enjoyable, this sport blog features one man’s opinions of the sporting headlines posted as discussions for everyone to engage with. By rarely including pictures or any design whatsoever, Sporty Blog lets you get on with the job of reading what the author has to say without being distracted by any needless images. Although opinionated the author manages to avoid becoming biased and this coupled with the easy-to-digest page layout makes Sporty Blog a genuinely good read.
