Blog Organization

" For inspirational purposes, look at Technorati.com and any other blogs that you've heard of and/or follow. Based on your understanding of a clubhouse blog and information architecture, secure your blog topic and post your decision to your Process Blog. Explain why you have selected the topic, why it would make a good clubhouse blog and why you, as a blogger, would be enthusiastic about it."

I think information architecture is awesome. Let's make it easy for viewers and followers to navigate. Let's assume a child found the page. They may ask, "What is that mommy?" Instead, let's somehow get them to say, " Need help mommy?" Something like that.


I enjoy my music on urbanascor where I can find whatever I want. I read comments and forums by fans like me for a preview and understanding of the album. I also like older, classic soul from the 70s and 80s.

Haha, I just couldn't resist. Well now then.

I follow my sports too. Does that count? Football, and basketball? I read almost everything there, especially news on Brett Favre. Man, he's hurtin' my team right about now. [Sang that last part in my head, that's why.]


So music is just a narrated movie with or without rhymes. We're all inspired and moved by such films as Lion King, The Godfather, Inception that we will immediately categorize as classics. In art, we know who The Thinker is, Mona Lisa, The Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel, and those Greek statues with no arms. Now in music - which has been around since the beginning of language - there are many classics. We hear everyone's rendition and i mean everyone's rendition of "Can't take my eyes of you" or Tupac's "Keep ya head up." For instance, I was having a very bad day until I heard Canon [in D form] and lifted my spirits.

We all been around music. There is no way any of us did not put on headphones while in the womb. We heard it. Music - sadly - has been my best friend. I love all forms of music, but my ear has limits. I tend to stay away from heavy rock and metal. Too darn noisy. There is a song we play during any moment of our lives. Music has undoubtedly changed my life and I'm sure it has for you.

WEBLOGS HISTORY AND PERSPECTIVE

I enjoyed the history of weblogging. It was a good read, an interesting read actually. We all blog about what we love and what we want in life and sure, unexpected commentary shows up. She is right. Blogging is an everyday thing now, but back then it was growing. Later on, she noted it grew exponentially: The beginning of everyday blogging. As for me, I blog to a fixed limit. I say a little something in my Facebook status. Then all the discourse begins.

After clicking on some of the links, I noticed the display, interface, and other visuals are made simpler. Templates and backgrounds. Some people I know use images of themselves, loved ones, and celebrities. Just clicked a few more links, and they are not found. A little sad.

The blog becomes e-writing. Diary, journal, memory, poem, songs, rants, stories; anything. With new blogs created everyday it's safe to assume what types occurred during birthdays, Christmas, 9/11, and summer.

CLUBHOUSE

The first section started off with amazing tips. I find them very useful.

The excerpt from Mr. Jalopy and his machines is extremely passionate. He adores such toys operating without electricity. I like how he has all his childhood things such as model rocket kits. He loves it, he loves it all. He went on about print vs blogging. I understand the differences now. I agree with the style of writing for print and blogging. Blogging is limitless, loose, and free.

Blogger is cool. Sometimes simple, sometimes it is a pain in the ass. I'm learning only as quickly as he is.
