Blog Critique: Rhett Gentry
For the classmate blog critique, I decided to examine Rhett's blog.
At a quick glance, Rhett's blog may come off as a bit unorganized and un-pretty, but taking a dive into the content reveals otherwise. The stories on the blog are ordered vertically in an isometric fashion as small rectangles across the screen. These stacked rectangles create a very pleasing effect of seemingly offering a broad selection of content in just a few short posts.
Rhett has a very clean, journalistic writing style. Every post is easy to read and flows very well, like a conversation. My main complaint with the writing isn't really a complaint, I simply would like to see less first-person writing and more third-person writing from him.
Of course, the first-person writing does create a sense of interaction with Rhett when reading his stories. After a few posts, you begin to have an understanding of who Rhett is.
The color template of the blog is very nice. I appreciate the complementary dark colors of beige, brown, and black all flowing as you move down the page. I would maybe add some more color on the sidebar as it's very empty after moving past the profile information.
