The purpose of a blog is to inform, to persuade, and to entertain.
To inform: you are writing to inform, You are presenting information that what the reader is interested in.
I chose the blog :
http://www.bloglockers.com/ because it gives updates on sports/teams. It tells you the scores, how the game was, and even sometimes a little about the players themselves. People who enjoy to watch sports will love this blog. If you missed a game or something, you can always go on this blog to see what you missed out on. It informs people on everything sports.
Another blog I chose was :
http://lifehacker.com/ because this blog informs people on important situations like that the Band of America will be charging people $5 per month for u your debit cards. It's nice to look at this blog every once in a while if you want to see whats going on. But, you can always look in the newspaper too. :P
To persuade: when writing to persuade you convince the reader Of a fact or a point of view.
I chose the blog :
http://gizmodo.com/ because the writer of this blog convinces the reader to buy their electronic products. This blog gives out useful information and pictures and it is sort like an advertisement. I like this blog because it is very organized and it even has some video's posted on it.
Another blog I chose is :
http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/ because they were trying to make a difference by sharing their opinions with each other. While reading this blog, people might feel they should do something about it. Though, in my opinion, i thought this blog was boring to read. :P
To entertain: Writing that is designed to entertain that creates an emotion to the reader.
I chose the blog, "Kim Jong-il I like looking at things" because instead of using a lot of information, they used pictures which entertains the reader more. I think it was interesting to look at. It only shows Kim Jong-il looking at some random objects, which amuses the reader. Most people these days dislike reading information and like looking at pictures more. Therefore, is would be a great blog for you if to look at if you enjoy blogs like this. Here is the link :

This blog shows pictures of what they think is awesome and they put a caption on why they think it is awesome. This blog is very organized and easy to read. This blog does it's job, it should entertain the reader while looking at the photo's and reading the information.
