3-2

For this post, I reviewed the blog Pop Culture Brain that I follow on Tumblr. I have provided a screen shot of the blog below.

  • The primary blogger is a guy named Alex. He is an editor in NYC, who studied Film and TV in Syracuse. He said someone told him he had an insane knowledge of pop culture and to start a blog, so he did just that. His goal, he says, is to put that knowledge to use. 
  • This blog is in the gossip, pop culture, and entertainment categories. 
  • It is organized in a top-down flow format, where posts are ordered by the date they were posted. It is a jumble of pictures, text, links, and videos. It is clear and easy to follow. 
I looked the blog over again according to Brogan's nitpicky things to consider. One thing I noticed is that he uses a very small array of colors, mostly black, white, and red. Although this does the trick and is clear and easy to read, it makes the blog look bland. The sidebar on the right is short and sweet. It has basic information about the blogger, his photo, and where you can go to ask questions, post comments, or follow him on other social media sites. It isn't artistic, but it gets the job done. There is clear division between where one post ends and another begins, so it isn't confusing or frustrating. Overall, I enjoy this blog and am never disappointed in what he posts.
