The above blog is a sports blog. In the blog are several different sports which helps appeal to all different kinds of sports fans. Also, they use sexual advertisement to grab the attention of the average man running by this site. There are several pictures throughout the page for the lazy sports fan looking at the site, and by using many pictures it keeps the attention of the user. Also, with the picture they throw in a few videos which brings a different aspect to the site. My site and the one are similar with the exception that this one is much more professional looking with better layouts.

This blog is trying to sell basketball shoes. In this blog is an animated show which grabs my attention and leads me to want to see the next new shoe being advertised. Also, in this site is a description of what each shoe is. It gives a good description describing what each shoe looks like and what the shoe can do to increase your ability. Down farther in the site it gives you a still picture to let you see the featured shoes, and from these pictures it allows you to comment on them to give your personal opinion on the shoe. Compared to my blog it eerily similar with some upgrades, and it has a different theme.

On the side of the blog it gives you an option of many college teams that you can get personal updates coming from those teams. The blog is great advertisement for these young players keeping the fans informed, and it can also lead to fans that really like them following them to whatever team they are drafted.

Now this blog is what mine would look if I took the time to do it the way I want it. One it is very simple, and it gives you the latest big thing that happened in all of sports. So, this way you know what to pay attention to if your not in the know. The site also gives you a links, so you can go to other great sports sites to get the maximum. It also gives you a the guys personal opinion on the sports, so if I created a blog like this one I could be very honest with my viewers on how I feel and not have to worry about other people that don't agree with what i have to say. It also gives you some options on readings if you want to learn more about another topic in sports that is going on right now.

This site is pretty simple considering it is a story site. By that I mean that the blog does nothing but tell simple stories and focuses them on certain people. For instance the story that is currently up is over a broadcaster for a major league baseball team. His name is Harry Callas and this guy died just recently and had been a philedelphia philly broadcaster for many decades. This would also be familar to my blog in that I would not always be talking about the same topic, but would be talking about the most current news. I would love to make a site like this, because I enjoy all sports and am familar with all of them. This site also seems to focus on one city which would also be cool because you could be like that local guy who everyone would know and listen to. This blog could use some more appeal than just simply text down the middle to get the viewer to read more.
