Critique
By: Andrew Baughn

1. What you like and dislike about the blog?
     - I like how the blog is in the line of entertainment, fantasy and film media. This is a blog that i would come back on and look at more. It tells a lot about movies (super hero, fantasy) and it talks about actors who play the heroes. Im my mind it's a fantasy movie data base and it's for both kids and adults.

2. How often it is updated (avoid "dead" blogs) ?
   - It seems that since this blog focuses on the superhero/fantasy movies and daily news in the comic theme world, the page updates on a daily basis, doesn't seem to be a dead day and since there are a lot of people who like the comic world, they always expect something new.

3. Whether the Comments indicate anyone is reading it ?
   - Even though the blog gets updated a lot, after looking though all the posts, it doesn't seem that it shows who has read the recent comments. Only thing I found was the date it was posted and the person who posted it.

4. What media elements beyond text does it use ?
   - Aside from the Text this blog use some animation in it's title page, a few widgets. It has a lot of slideshows of photos with different art work and sketches. It has a lot of news segments to of recent and past hero events in the movies. There is even a CBM chat where you can join in the conversation on the title of the blog. The last thing about it is the nice blends of colors in the background. 




TIPS on how to be a good Blogger.



What better way to get your self noticed and out there, than making your own BLOG. Let the world hear your voice and what you have to share.  Let me share how I got started in making a BLOG.

I was given the assignment in "Intro to Multimedia Story Telling Class" called PIMP MY BLOG. I have never had a BLOG before, so I new that this was going to be fun. I first set up an account and then got to work. Im a kind of guy who likes to think outside the box, so I got thinking about all the designs and colors I could

add to my new blog. Still being a beginner in this I know that with more time and practice, blogging will become second nature to me. Listening to the tips and suggestions that my professor Dan Williams gave me. I fooled around with all the different styles to create my BLOG home page. I took a picture I had used for a long time...it has my rap name on it "B-Master Baughn" I was considered a free style rapping star in High School and the nick name has stuck with me every since. Knowing that that would help me stand out I decided to use it. There is still more and so much to add to my BLOG but I will take care of that later. I just loved how I was able to customize the colors and the text of the words and re-postion the columns. I just know having a BLOG is going to be a lot of fun and it is also a great part of my major and future career.

-P.S, Im also trying to add more animation widgets to my blog.
