"LORD BYRON!"

                                                                  The Blog site Lord Byron, created by these four lovely girls, Alejandra Hernandez, Danielle Henry, Natasha King, and Sydney Leliefeld was a site I truly enjoyed. They had a goal to teach people about Byron and that is just what they did. Their effort was shown in all aspects of the work completed. Every entry seemed very organized and in depth about their subject. It was easily shown that every member not only taught someone else about Byron but they had learned so much through all the intense research they had completed. They had made their blog quite simple and easy to navigate, even for someone (me) who may not know how Blogspot works all to well. The biggest aspect of the page I noticed would be some of the slight humor within some of the writings. I do have to say I enjoyed Natasha Kings' Prose Poem a lot. It was simple, to the point but yet someone else could interpret it differently than I had. The videos on the site helped explain and get what the author was trying to say across to their readers. The page is not boring in the slightest. There are multiple objects that can and will attract your attention. The background is simple and may I add pretty AWESOME! I enjoyed the visualization through their pictures which allowed me to connect a face to his story. For someone who would know almost nothing about romanticism this site would be very helpful. It explains who Byron was in his art and who he was just as a person in his everyday life. We can learn the fine details that maybe aren't that important but are quite interesting, such as he was a “true gentleman”, despite his “modern day 'Booty Call' ”! The reader will get an example of his poetry applied not just explained. Through learning about who Lord Byron was, this group can write a poem similar to the way Byron himself may have written one. I would say if anyone wanted to expand their own knowledge about Byron they should start with the "Lord Byron" group and not become hesitant to read it from start to finish. You shall be intrigued... ENJOY!
