Blogs to Consider

Though I have read many blogs on a variety of different issues, there are a few that I can't help but go back to. All of the blogs I have read have been informative, but a certain few have appealed to me on a different level. I have briefly described three of them that you need to check out, all are issues that are important and need to be contemplated and discussed.

This is why WE hot....global warming is an entertaining, yet informative blog on global warming. The site is aesthetically very pleasing, with bright colors, colorful fonts, and pictures. I am also attracted to the blog because I personally knew very little about global warming, or even if it really existed. With some of the other blogs I was pretty well informed about their topics--with this one I was excited to learn. It is apparent while reading the blog that "fashionable tree hugger," the author, is excited about expressing her opinions. I found it interesting that she synthesized her love of fashion and her concern about the environment. A lot of time, effort, and research was put into the blog and the outcome is a blog that is enjoyable and yet enlightening.

Another blog I enjoy to read is Marriage: The Sex is Always the Same. Though it is currently pretty short, and is not as well researched as the blog on global warming, it is none the less on an interesting topic and is discussed in a humorous manner. Unlike most of the others, this blog managed to make me laugh, and I'm sure it doesn't hurt that I agree with the authors views. I think gay marriage is an important civil rights issue that needs to be addressed. Though it is a stretch, it deals with my blog in this aspect. People need to be treated fairly, and I'm not opposed to learning and laughing at the same time.

Universal Health Care: Revamping the American Health Care System is a blog dedicated to exploring the possibility of a universal health care system in America. Initially, I was skeptical and not extremely enthusiastic about reading the blog, this quickly changed. I went into the blog thinking that it was a bad idea, but upon reading more have began to rethink my previous stance. The blog is well organized and offers a large amount of facts, statistics, and helpful information. A solid argument is put forth and the blog is an interesting idea, and is possibly something in America's future.

I really like your selection of blogs here, they cover a wide range of interests and appeals. I am glad that you enjoyed the health care blog, but I'll refrain from talking more about that. I agree that This is Why We Hot is both an exciting and entertaining blog on global warming, a hard feat to achieve on such a serious topic. Marriage: The Sex is Always the Same is a blog that
I am less familiar with. The humor you describe draws my attention and makes me want to check it out. You gave good descriptions on what these blogs are all about, and I can't wait to go start reading.

You should definitely check it out, if it hasn't been recently updated then it should still be fairly short and easy to quickly read. I tried to not pick all of the same blogs as most others--to show the ones that appealed to me the most.
Thank you for your feedback!
