 Legend Harris' Blog Critique

    For our classmate blog critique project, I decided to focus on one blog from the class and take a deeper dive into the great parts of the blog and then see if I could find anything that may need some work. I chose Legend Harris' blog for this assignment because I have enjoyed looking at her worked briefly during class, and I wanted to see if there were more aspects that I liked about her website.

    From the instant I open her blog, I am very pleased with the theme that Legend has chosen for her website. The colors flow very well together, and I really like how all of her posts contain graphics on the front page of the post. I think seeing a picture or graphic for the post makes readers initially more interested which leads to more people wanting to actually read the post in its entirety. I also like her use of interactivity from social media sites throughout her posts.

    Aside from the look of the blog, one of my favorite parts of Legend’s website is how many of her post seem to also slightly follow a theme. In the posts that I read from her blog, I could clearly see that Legend cared about what she was writing. I really appreciate how she was able to let her voice shine through in her writing while still maintaining a factual post. In many of her blog entries, Legend was able to state her opinion and support it with statistics, and I think that is a great quality to have as a journalist.

    If I had to choose something from Legend’s blog that I think she could work on, it would be some of the grammar and punctuation within the posts. While her work was written extremely well, there were a few places in multiple posts that I saw misplaced punctuation marks – like commas and quotation marks – as well as small typos or misplaced words. Also, Legend seemed to go back and forth between using contractions and not using them, so I think maybe choosing one or the other and sticking to it would help her writing flow smoother.

    Overall, I think Legend’s blog comes across as looking professional and being very interesting. I think she has done a great job in bringing information about many subjects into the spotlight while also letting the reader know what she thinks of things and why.

  2020 Passion Conference Passion Website:  https://passionconferences.com/      Passion is a movement that had its first ever meeting in 1997. The name stems from its founding place, Passion 268 church. This church in Atlanta, Georgia is pastored by Louis Giglio and he is also the head of the Passion Conferences. I have had the opportunity to go to Passion two years in a row and both years it has been a life changing experience for me.      Passion is the meeting of thousands of college age believers who get to hear from famous Christian music artists as well as many great speakers of the Christian faith. The conferences are usually held over the span of 3 days and lasts throughout New Year’s Eve and Day. Sadly, Passion 2021 was canceled due to COVID-19, so I decided to relive some of my memories from last year by doing my last assignment about it.      Passion 2020 had some of my favorite evangelists come and speak. For exampl...
