Podcast, Website, and Blog Mid-term Critiques

I thought it was really cool to look at other classmates websites, blogs, and listen to their Podcasts. I learned a lot from listening to Corinna Hickels podcast. It was done really well and had a lot of information. As for the other classmate that I critiqued, she did not have hers uploaded so I was unable to listen to it.

I really liked looking at other peoples websites especially. I used Wix for my website but Corinna used Weebly. After looking at her website I am considering switching to Weebly. There are many different options that the two websites have to offer but I really liked the way Corinna's website looked. It was set up really nicely and it looked professional. The other girl I peer-critiqued used Google Sites which is what I started out using. Hers looked pretty good but she did not have much added to it. The only thing she has was the links to a few websites. For now her website looked good but from personal experience when you get to adding more and more to your website it begins to look sloppy. The only reason I say this is because Google Sites does not let you place your photos or links anywhere you'd like. It has let, middle, and right options and that is it.

As for the blogs everything was looking nicely. Corinna's blog was really interesting and she had it set up very well. She had all the blogs she needed, they were done professionally, and she had her page set up in a way that was easy to read and appealing to the eye. The girl that I critiqued as well had only two or three blogs which were very good she just did not have very many. I am interested to see how the websites and blogs end up with everything on them that is needed. I could tell that Corinna had spent quite a bit of time on her projects and she is doing great.

I really liked doing this critique so that I could get some ideas for my own website and blog. It is also nice to help others out with their work and let them know what we thought!
