I recently went back to my Introduction post and I noticed that I didn't even tell anyone what I actually do in the Army. I decided to add a little detail about my job and some background on some of the artillery pieces I have worked with. I also included pictures of the artillery pieces because I do not believe many people would recognize them just by their nomenclature.
As I was browsing through the class directory I came across a few aspects within some blogs that caught my attention. Here is a list of the things I found during my exploration:
I really liked Ashlyn's blog design/template. The background with the books on the shelves makes me feel like I am in a giant library, which I think is pretty cool. I have gotten some comments that people like my blog design/template, so I am reluctant to change it if it is already aesthetically pleasing to my visitors.
I was really impressed with Kayla's font choice in her blog. The cursive font adds a personal touch to the blog and avoids the mundanity of traditionally academic fonts (i.e. Arial and Times). I think I will update my blog to incorporate a more unique font. Hopefully this alteration will attract more readers.
The final aspect that caught my eye came from Savannah's blog. Savannah found a way to include a section of her sidebar that displayed recent posts and recent comments on her blog. I thought this was a very useful tool for not only Savannah, but also her visitors. I noticed that she was using wordpress for her blog, so I do not know if blogger will allow for this addition to come to fruition for me. I definitely want to add this same section to my blog, but I will most likely need to tinker with the layout in order to find a solution. I'm not sure if this is already a tech tip, but it would be a great addition if someone had the time to write up some instructions.
