Week #10 Post 1


A blog is an interesting way to start conversation that has value and humans are very drawn to content that is expressing emotions on a topic or their personal experiences regarding that topic. Let’s say I have a business either I could do aggressive marketing by posting ads on TV or radio, promoting various discounts to bring customers there by increasing sales. This method does not involve two-way communication, its only one-sided conversation or bombardment of “come buy our stuff”. Other way would be conversing with people telling them our side of the story by personal experiences, such as how we traveled to various places to see where our products are coming from, who our suppliers are, and their life experiences and emotions will surely make readers or people connect more easily. In this case personal experiences are themselves promoting business because people are so curious to know what steps we are taking to run this business by reading about those experiences.


It does not make any sense if every blog post contains description of what we did as a family or how we spent the weekend at a party. If we are writing a blog about family values, then it totally makes sense to blog about routines and family activities however, if a blog involves profession or business then it’s always best to keep experiences that aligns with that profession or business. Bottom line, peoples emotions and personal experiences will enhance a blog if they contain appropriate and coherent content.

    I agree that getting too personal is unrealistic talking about your families activities, rather the posts should have some personal characteristics as long as it aligns with the business topic. Another important purpose is using a personal touch but providing useful information that your followers and customers can use to help them out.

    I do agree that businesses that only do ads, TV, or radio, do not connect is a one way communication. The more effective businesses use posting ads that allow customers to interact with the company on a more personal level.

Week #4 Post 1

Two websites I choose to comment on that could have problems for visitors are www.jamilin.com and www.gatesnfences.com . First thing that I noticed on opening these websites were the style, in a nutshell it is a brochure style, where there is a lot of static content and heavy description of the products or services offered by respective businesses. It made me feel like, I need to get out of these websites right away. There is no stickiness to them. Three potential problematic areas would be:   No clear Concept and Contrast, Hierarchy and Ease of use. No clear concept and contrast : Upon close observation on both these web sites we notice there is no clear concept of what products/services they are offering. “Jamilin” website has two different menus one with different colors, which I believe are the services they offer. However, they have another menu right underneath that has drop down menus for services again. This is total confusion for a visitor who must spend lot of time

#Week 1A Template Blog

I choose this template because it has interesting background with trees and little bit of light coming out, giving definition to the page. Any written content in white font would really make the content more interesting to read. Also I liked the layout of tabs to left side of the page along with the picture that can be added later as needed for the class. This blogs focus will be towards completing class activities for now.
