Blog Analysis

Rumor has it is my blog about celebrity rumors and gossip also I try to put a spin on what celebrities go through with the paparazzi. Although, I believe my blog is fine for what it is, my first one, but there are things that can be improved. Searching for inspiration for a blog entry, I found three other blogs that caught my eye a while ago, and now glad I can actually talk about them.

“Gossip Girls” is also about celebrity gossip of course, being my central theme, the layout and background is something I really admire. The black and pink colors grab the attention of the reader, besides the theme. Also, the blog is not done by one person; there is a group of girls maybe like three or four of them posting entries about what they want to talk about or what they found out that day. The blogs aren’t long, actually it is similar to magazines star sightings, where you have a picture of the celebrity and what they did that week or month. Also the blog has links to other related topics which I want to do as well to show support and different genres of writing.

“Star Muscle” that talks about celebrity news, gossip, and lies, it is a humorous look at some celebrity blunders and also a compassionate take on others. The blog makes an effort to take various issues and not just report them but put an opinion on them, because of the opinion spin, it shows the reader that the creator or creators want to take the blog to another level besides gossip, which I admire because that is an interested of mine.

“The Hollywood Gossip” is especially similar to my blog, the layout is somewhat the same style while the blog entries are also moderately alike as well. The entries don’t talk about regular celebrity gossip; they are more controversial and informative on what a reader didn’t know. For example, because I don’t watch television, I did not know that actor Rob Lowe was accused of sexual harassment by two nannies. Unlike all the other celebrity blogs out there, “The Hollywood Gossip” tries to post entries most blogs with the same theme would not even think of. I admire this blog because I feel that we are trying to do similar things by staying out of the norm.

Each blog is similar to each other in many ways. Even in design where they all took a color scheme and surround it with similar colors. They all have related links to there topic and try to keep their posts updated. On that note each blog has something I admire and I hope to take each of those things and build my blog into what I want it to be.
