Five Blogs To Follow~

As an assignment for CIT, I found 5 blogs that interest me to follow.
    1) Lovely Clusters - The Pretty Blog: This one had a lot of interesting photography,  images, and color palettes, and I like things like that, especially since I enjoy doing graphical design at home.

    2) A Music Junkie's Fix: The person who runs this one mentioned a few of my favorite songs, and some of the others were really good. I think I'll find some new music here, and that's always nice.

    3) Na-No-Blog-Mo: This is a blog for National Novel Writing Month, which I participated in last year, and it's always a really fun event. I'll probably try it this year too, and I figured a blog about it would be a good way to get started.

    4) Plentakill: Plentakill brings out the nerd in me, since it's a collection of fan songs for a game called League of Legends. They took popular songs such as Shots by LMFAO and turned the lyrics around to make something about the game.

    5) Template Faerie: This blog caught my eye because it looked really cute and creative, and after reading a bit of it, I agreed with a lot of it and it's interesting to read even when I don't agree.

    I commented on Plentakill, Template Faerie, and Lovely Clusters, saying how much I enjoyed their posts and answering questions that were asked in the posts as well. I usually wouldn't bother posting at all, instead just reading the blog posts, so I guess this forced me to interact a bit... though I'd prefer not to.

    None of the blogs I found can really be used for school, but some could be. An English class could use a book blog for book wars or something similar, and a class such as Mass Media could make use of Lovely Clusters and A Music Junkie's Fix for projects and articles. Some blogs also post news, which is useful for history classes. A class blog could also be used to post assignments and allow students to ask questions.
