Lord Byron Blog! AWESOME!

     Sydney Leliefield, Alejandra Hernandez, Natasha King, and Dani Henry have gone above and beyond by informing people all about the mysterious poet Lord Byron. They really are living up to their claim that they provide "all you need to know" about this poet. If you would like to check it out, please do so!
     At first glance, one can obviously see that all of the ladies in this group have put a lot of time and effort into creating this blog. They really trying to dig deeper into the poet and provide good information to the reader. The way that the blog is presented only makes the reader more interested. The topics are all dispersed and each member of the group has participated equally.
     I think the aspect that I like most about the Lord Byron blog is the amount of graphics. I believe that any kind of graphic can only make an article that much more interesting. Even just a picture of Lord Byron still just adds so much to the writing. I also like the variety of fonts and sizes that the articles are presented.
     I think one of the specific articles that i really enjoyed was Dani Henry's "Byron: A Sexual Magnet, Or A Hero?" First I loved the video that was added for the same reasons that i stated above. The video just provided that little extra information that is awesome to learn in a different way than just reading the article. I also liked the article itself as it was written based on a very interesting topic. Dani's writing is very well presented and keeps the reader engaged all throughout the article. I think she did an awesome job presenting her case about Lord Byron's and all of the different takes people had on his life.
     Another article that I really enjoyed reading was Sydney Leliefield's Prose Poem "Friendships Lost." Sydney was able to write such a interesting prose poem. Her vocabulary and sentence fluency all made the poem that much better. The theme although sad, she was able to create happy scenes with her similes and her descriptive images give the reader a clear idea of what she is trying to portray.
     Overall the Lord Byron Blog shows great work and information to any reader who is interested in learning more about Lord Byron or Romantic Poets in general.
