Post #1 Notes On Blogs

9/20/2021

8 Comments

 
There are definitely a lot of headlines that try to turn heads. In every single one of the articles, there seems to be at least one piece of photography. It’s interesting how many articles are written by one person that is not even a part of the OnMilwaukee team. There also appears to be a way to separate the articles by their associated categories.

​https://onmilwaukee.com/

The article is only 500-1500 words long which is not something that I was expecting from a professionally written article. The article gets straight to the point and then goes further into the detail of the specific topic. They then tell you why this matters and try to connect it to the community around them. Finally, they give more details on the news itself and promote the focus of the piece.

I'm not sure if it was intentional, but there's two copies of the same text on the page, which confused me. I think it's interesting that you noted the authors of the articles in the On Milwaukee site are written by people who aren't part of the On Milwaukee team, that wasn't something I noticed. I wish that in your article analysis you included what the article was discussing, instead of just noting that they discuss a topic. I appreciate the links so we can connect directly to what you're discussing.n

Hi Kohl. I think maybe you can go a little bit more in depth, such as the specifics of each website, the differences in content the writers choose to write about, etc... Right now your first blog post feels a little bit shallow in terms on analysis.

I wish you wrote a bit more about both the articles and the site as a whole. Right now you only mention OnMilwaukee so I'd like to see your analysis on the other sites. You link two articles but I don't see any specific reference to them other than word count.

Like many of the other comments said, this is a nice analysis of the one site's style, but I'd love to see how you compare it to other sites as well!

Hi Kohl! I liked your point about how a lot of the articles you saw on these websites try and turn heads. What is it about them that emphasized click-bait, were the titles attention grabbing to you? I would have loved to have some more examples of this in your blog.

Great start. It'd definitely be cool to read a more in depth analysis but I like that you point out the similarities in all of the sites use of photography.

You obviously put a lot into your landing page. Love the colorful subject matter and the artwork fading in and out. I liked the fonts you chose as they were other than usual.
