The title of the blog I looked at was “The Blake Blog That’s Better Than the “Best Blake Blog.” The title was the first thing that caught my eye, it was funny. The background and just the look of the blog was good looking and neat. The pictures that they had at the end of a lot of the posts make it more intriguing to read. I thought it was really interesting how MJ put in a video about “The Tyger” it shows a different point of view and how not all people see the same message being sent out to them in poetry when you read it your interpretation is different than anyone else reading the same passage. If someone did not know anything about Romanticism this blog would be very useful and teach not directly on Romanticism but on William Blake, one of the six great poets of that era. It gives a lot of more in depth talking about William Blake than you would find on a website about him. The group that did this blog really put time into all the posts and it shows in not just the length but the quality of writing in those posts. This blog is important because it showed us (at least my group) a deeper understanding of the poets and how they became who they were. It also taught us how to blog and create one, now after groups created one I think that mostly all of the people could (if they were asked) make one and be successful in doing so. I think the article that struck me the most was the one about Robert F. Gleckner and how he helped her (MJ) understand poems better and how that with others input with their opinions on how they saw the poems meaning it helps you (the reader) more. On other blogs they didn’t have an opening couple paragraphs that introduce the people in the blogs group members and it really was different and a good idea. It shared what this blog was about. There was more than one video and all it did was create that extra information to share to the readers that don’t know anything about Romanticism or William Blake.
