critiquing blogs

It is hard for me to critique others blogs since I feel that I am relatively just a beginner at this and everyone else's looks so much better than mine. I noticed Caron's blog during our first week of class and admire the changes in design she has done since then. What particularly stood out to me other than the overall design was the fact that she has monetized it and since I am thinking of doing the same with mine at some point, I'm very curious as to whether or not she has made any profit.

Adele's blog is really coming along; http://sis2locks-liveadayinmylife.blogspot.com/2011/03/celebrating-lent.html I've been following it and have noted the improvements she has made in layout and design. I like the new colors and background as well as the new header graphic. I would only make one suggestion to move the sentence within the picture, maybe create an empty space below the desk then cut and paste? All in all, a great up and coming blog that I hope she keeps at beyond this class.

I really like the look and "feel" of Jason's blog; http://thejluntzreport.blogspot.com/ , and will look to this one for tips on how to improve my own. Not much I can really say about this one because it looks perfect to me; great layout, links, and overall design and is really geared towards his audience. Jason is obviously either a very experienced blogger or if not just has a really good eye for this sort of thing.

A note regarding the intended audience; since most of us have created these blogs expressly for this class, then aside from a few cases I'm not sure of the intended audience beyond our classmates. I did intend mine to be geared towards anyone interested in independent film production only to end up with the majority of my posts being about this class, consequently, I'm not sure I'll keep the COM480 posts in the Producer's Journal blog and may create another one just for schoolwork.
