Critiques of Prior blogs

Critiques of previous Blogs

February 4th 2013


Zach


The first critique examined the blog of Zach Robinson.  After looking at a few posts and examining the blog site as a whole, the site was not too bad.  The summary of basic day to day weather seemed to be up to standard and I enjoyed the pictures that were posted as well.  They were from radar images of weather in all of the United States.  I would also like to include a picture of Eau Claire area for a better look at what is going on in the local area.  I feel this would better explain the weather that is currently occurring on a particular post.  As for the layout of his blog, the format worked with what he wanted to accomplish.  However, I was a little confused on the national geographic page; I did not see the connection.  Sweet images though.


Kristin


The blog of Kristin Cupp was next on the list.  I favored the way she designed the layout.  The maps she included on one of the pages were insightful.  The surface temperature was a very interesting way of looking at the campus.  It was amazing the variation that occurred throughout the area.  The links she included were very helpful and gave me some ideas of where to go to look for information about weather.  Accuweather.com seems to be a trendy and helpful website.  Some more links could have been helpful to look for information as well. 


Joel


Joel Albrecht was another blog that I observed.  His seemed descent, however, his descriptions seemed to be short.  He did add some great images of radar for the weather.  I also like the pictures of the many different types of clouds he included.  This would be helpful for the untrained eye in weather.  The videos of the tornadoes were neat to look at as well.  I think the more web pages one has the better.  More sources to evaluate information. 



Ben


Ben Possi’s blog was pretty well done and had a good amount of maps that showed the dew point as well as the temperature in the UWEC campus. I enjoyed the pictures he took himself of clouds from an airplane and the sweet sunset in New York.  He did not, however, post blogs every day and seemed to miss a good amount of days some months.  However, the days he did blog they seemed thorough and clear.  The video of the northern lights was also very cool.  The way he listed the current conditions was helpful to know what the weather conditions were at that time. 


Brittany


Brittany’s weather blog was very pink.  I would guess that is her favorite color.  But regardless her layout I did like and I did change my blogs layout to place the tabs on the left side rather than the right.  Her description of the weather wasn’t all bad.  The posts were a little short and some contained little description of the weather.  Some maps she created did not have a backdrop of the Eau Claire campus.  Not a big deal but it adds to help the viewer know where things are.  She had little data analysis and only a few links on her page.  I did like how she linked the name to the website.  Good feature for reference.
