Evaluation of Existing Web Logs

In this chart  I have recorded and evaluated my findings from existing web logs to help me develop my own practice.
This chart should help me with what to do and what not to do also it will help me decide what makes a succesful blog.

Name of Web Log	Purpose and intention of Web Log	What differing media or ICT Techniques (Video, Hyperlinks etc.)are used?	How effectively does the Web Log convey information and engage the consumer?	What areas from this Web Log would you like to employ in your own?
Concrete Loop	Promote urban black people Celebrating Promote awareness to the arts Latest news	Jpeg Videos Links Embedded YouTube links Hyperlinks Links to other Blogs Different fonts, colours and sizes	Clear and concise information	A range of the media and ICT techniques.

 S.M.A.R.T. TARGETS
S - specific
M - measurable

1.Use a range of media and ICT techniques- by doing this it will ensure that my blog is interesting and it will keep the readers engaged. Also it shows that  I have those ICT and media skills.
2.Choose a interesting  blog topic- if I decide to choose a blog topic that a very small amount of people are interested in then my blog wont get as many hits as I would like but if its a very popular and talked about subject then that will bring a bigger audience.
3.The presentation and structure of blog- I would perfer if my blog is organised and in order. If the blog looks presentable then it will be easier for readers to read the blog.

My S.M.A.R.T targets will help my blog be a success
