Blog Review #2 - Five Brains Are Better Than One

As I was looking at the group blogs from my class, the blog that stood out to me the most was Five Brains Are Better Than One. What really caught my attention was how visually interesting it was. For one, the title is very catchy and gives the impression that the five writers have a sense of teamwork and enjoy working together to create the blog. Another thing I really enjoyed about the blog was how engaging their posts were because they included funny or unexpected images in each post. Their images often made me laugh or smile.

Although the blog is generally visually appealing, I would suggest that they change their background from such a bold red color to something a little more relaxing. It would make me want to spend more time reading the blog if the background was a lighter color.

That said, Five Brains is very well-written and engaging. I enjoy reading it because of how much detail and personality each post has. It's written in a very personal and lighthearted way, which is something I need to work on in my own writing. In fact, I think I have already drawn some inspiration from their blog when I sat down to write this review. Sometimes it can be hard to make each post conversational and relatable on this blog when all I post are assignments, but Five Brains reminded me that it is possible to make assigned posts interesting.

Overall, I think these five classmates were successful in creating and maintaining an interesting and engaging blog with a lot of personality and character. Each post was similar in length and style, which made the blog look organized and consistent. I was impressed with the variety of thought-provoking topics for their essays and their thoughts of their assigned reading from the textbook. If someone outside of our English composition class stumbled upon Five Brains, they would get a pretty good idea about what each chapter in the textbook is about and what the most important points from the chapters are. Personally, I found writing inspiration from this blog, and I plan on continuing to read it throughout the semester.
