One of the blogs that appealed to me was one about the rock band Avenged Sevenfold;

One of the reasons that this particular blog appealed to me was the fact that it is about one of my all time favourite music artists. I like this blog because it uses a number of different techniques to make sure that as many people stay interested with the content on the page, this includes videos of the band and their songs, lots of UGC as well as the option to comment on a post or post yourself.
Another blog that I found interesting was one for the band Dragonforce, a heavy metal band from England.

One of the things that I enjoyed about this blog is the way it uses dark colours to blend in with the genre of the bands music, Rock/Heavy Metal. it uses colours such as black and purple and these are the colours that both are associated with rock music, but also the colours I wish to use in my blog.
Another element of the blog that I enjoyed was that it had the option to listen to the band through a linked radio station which includes a number of the bands biggest hits.
A further aspect of the blog which I liked was the way in which the blog shows the cd's that the band have brought out as well as the track names on that album. This interested me because it gives even more information to the viewer who the blog is being targeted at.
Yet another blog I looked at was one about the heavy metal band Five Finger Death Punch (FFDP, 5FDP).

One of the reasons why i like this blog is that it also uses the music player feature which allows us to listen to FFDP's tracks through the inbuild radio station.
Another reason why I like this blog is because it gives the target audience in depth information about the band, tour dates, gigs and album releases etc.
A further reason I like it is because of its Facebook style format in that you can like and comment on other like minded people's posts as well as post to the blog yourself.
Another blog that I have looked at as part of my research is the technology review site TechCrunch;
One of the things that I liked about this blog is that there is the option to like each comment on Facebook. This is useful because it gives the target audience more options on ways to interact with the website.
Another thing that I liked about the blog is that there is a massive variation in what is posted, from Apple's new operating system to brand new laptops. This is a good feature because it gives the target audience a lot of information about upcoming technology and products that they might want to buy.

The final blog that I looked at was The Huffington Post;
What I liked about this blog is that it includes lots of information, but also a lot of pictures and videos that break up the text to make it less boring and more visually appealing for the target audience.
Another aspect which I liked was the fact that the blog gives you the option to like the page on Facebook, but also the individual comments posted by users.
A further aspect that i liked was all of the videos included on the blog, this is good because it helps to explain what has been posted on the blog but in a way which is easier to understand.
