Blog critique assignment

This is due on Wednesday, Sept. 3.

Go out on the World Wide Web and find a blog. Any blog will do, but I would encourage you to avoid the super-popular ones. Technorati.com can help guide you to blogs on any topic.

I like chickens and Technorati helped me find a blog about raising chickens in the city!
In your critique, please tell us:
- what you like and dislike about the blog;
- how often it is updated (avoid "dead" blogs);
- whether the Comments indicate anyone is reading it;
- what media elements beyond text does it use.
Post your critique on your own blog. Here's my critique of the Urban Chickens blog. Likes: The posts have a lot of interesting information. For instance, did you know that you shouldn't wash the eggs your chickens lay? They are laid with a protective coating. Washing removes the coating. If you leave it on, you don't even have to refrigerate them. Plus, the site has interesting photos of chicken coops. Dislikes: The ads. They're all over the place. Updated? It hasn't been updated since April 2013. It appears to be dead. Comments: Most posts got no more than 1 comment. One got 6; that was among the last posts. Media elements: Just photos. I don't see any video.
