Most of the blogs on the class are fun and interesting -so by this time I have been spending valuable time for this assignment checking them- but I had to pick one. The one I chose was Camila Vi‘s Blog. It is very friendly and shows the author’s preoccupation with the aesthetic, order and good work.
You can recognize it from the beginning. At the top of the page there is this big picture which shows a collage being done in a piece of copybook paper, mixing different elements, and giving the idea of the presence of her subjectivity starting from the very name of the blog, "laaaou".
The topics and the way they are stated in the blog are always referring to the reader, inviting (him/her/it) to go further, read more, think more of the subject stated – “Give it a try, I highly recommend it!”; “if you want to learn more about this fascinating (at least for me!) subject”; quoting the common place of making the hard decision of choosing one only single piece of art. That’s cool because the blog format makes it possible for the reader to continue reading, and to give feedback to the topics posted, which makes us forget that they are part of an “assignment”, and …
I think the topic I like the most of those she has posted is “Le Baiser”, which talks about the homonymous piece by Auguste Rodin. She explains very beautifully and exhaustively the history and the story behind it.
I strongly recommend you to check it at http://laaaou.blogspot.com/ .

Thank you for your critique, Eduardo! I'm totally considering taking you off my 'black list' for this good deed.
I LOL'd when I read the "Camila Vi's" bit; it reminded me of the Spice Girls, and it works to differentiate us, because the other Camila would be "Camila Ve".
Anyway, I was really pleased to read you liked my blog's design, because I made an effort to make it nice for the people who visited it. I appreciate as well that you noted that I tried to suggest the reader to read more about the subject, it's nice to know if you're on the right track!
I would also like to congratulate you for your posts, I got a chance to read them and they were really good. Bye!
Nice, specific analysis, Eduardo.
