Blog Review

 The blog i will be evaluating is on Slam Fest 2010, which is a car and truck show in Florida. The purpose of this blog is to evaluate another blog based on the following criteria:

Design:
The design of the blog is pretty clean and simple. There is mostly pictures followed with a couple sentences of text. The site flows from picture and explanation to another, making it fairly easy to navigate through. There are RSS feeds and archives. The links on the page are for other blogs.


Purpose:
The purpose of the blog is to inform people of the show, and to give a summary of the show and vehicles that were in attendance. The page mostly focuses on the vehicles that were present, with many pictures highlighting the event. The purpose and focus is conveyed with the multiple pictures. The intended audience would be custom car and truck enthusiasts.


Content:
The content matches the content of the blog. I assume the content is original, because she claims she took the pictures herself. I would say its professional, but there isn't a whole lot of text, mostly pictures. There isn't any spelling or punctuation errors that I saw though.


Writing Mechanics:
Her style is a pretty straight forward, tell you what she saw kind of thing. I didn't see any errors in punctuation or spelling when reading through it.


Blog Activity:
After searching through her profile a little while, looks like she has wrote three or four blogs. Comments are allowed, and there is a number of comments on this blog. The author commented to make a correction to her blog, an another comment for more pictures of the event.


Believability:
There is a very short biography on the author after some searching. The only kind of authority the author has on the subject would be that she was at the event she is writing about. The author provided a link to another photo album to view more pictures that she took from the event. The blogger made a claim that was wrong, but she later corrected herself.
