For this blog I will be talking about how blogs are used to either inform, to persuade or to convince, or also to entertain readers.
To persuade means to convince others, and to get them to think the way you are thinking.
http://www.eurogamer.net/ is an example about using blogs to persuade people, most importantly the ones who love playing video games. That's because this sight is mainly about video games and the new games coming out soon would definitely make the reader want the games he/she is interested in.
http://lifehacker.com/ is a great example of how blogs are used to persuade others, because this website tells you how easier it would be to download apps.It shows how apps can help you with problems that you may have by telling you how to fix them; such as how to fix a broken zipper.
To entertain is to write things that the reader would respond to with emotions, and that the reader would enjoy.
http://kimjongillookingatthings.tumblr.com/ is a great example of using a blog to entertain, because it's about a guy named Kim Jong-il looking at a lot of random and weird things. Although this blog, is sort of nonsense and weird, it is also very entertaining to read about.
http://popeater.com/ is another great example of how blogs are used to entertain people. This website talks about all the recent happenings that has happened in celebrities lives. It's the interesting stories about celebrities that makes this website entertaining to those who actually care about what's happening in their lives.
To inform is to write information that the reader would be interested in.
http://www.bloglockers.com/ shows how a sight can be used to inform others, especially those who are a fan of NFL, MLB, and NBA, because this website talks about what happened during the recent games, and what the scores were. It's a really great website to look at whenever you wanna know what games are coming up.
http://www.slashfilm.com/ is an example of how blogs are used to inform readers, because a lot of people are interested about movies, and this is exactly what this website talks about. This website gives reviews on movies, and also recommends movies to those who love watching them.
So that's basically all the websites I wanted to talk about. If you want to know more about these websites, just go on the links I put above. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog.
