entry #2 Gaming

    Video games are one of my favorite hobbies, Especially when playing with my brother and friends. I am very competitive in shooting and sports since those were the only games I grew up on. Now, now and then, I will play story-telling games. I do like open-world games with a lot of adventures and progression. My two favorite games to play are Apex and Call of Duty. I am more competitive in those games than the others. Just last season in Apex, I had ranked masters by the end of the season; it was one of my most significant accomplishments throughout my career. Call of Duty was the first game I got put on when I first started gaming.

    When I was younger, my uncle was the first to teach me how to game, and Call of Duty was the first game I played. I am still trying to get as good as him, and I have improved over the years to rechallenge him someday. Gaming brings me much happiness. It is a domain where I can be myself. Any chance I get I try to play the game as much as I can; I have even applied myself into competitive tournaments and competed with other skillful players, too. I got into all the other games because of my dad, and He was not a shooting game kind of person. He was into fighting, sports, and strategy games. The Naruto Storm Saga games were the first fighting games I got into because of him. I would watch my dad and uncle play against each other who was the best at the game, and like always, my dad would beat my uncle almost every time. My dad and uncle were my two biggest inspirations when I started gaming. And now, I want to pursue it as a career and become a YouTuber/gamer. My biggest goal is to become one of the best gamers in the world, and I will achieve that goal no matter what anyone says. 

Entry#1 detailed blogs

 As I'm looking at these different blogs people use them for business, personal uses, daily news, etc. It can be used however you want to use it It's your blog you're trying to gain an audience for yourself or your business(whatever your main objective is when you make the blog). 

using the top 100 billboards is a good example: https://www.billboard.com/. 

It uses the latest news and it's business side for artists and upcoming artists. It shows us the amount of streams or polls of what each artist is producing almost each day or within a week. What I don't believe is that these poll numbers are very accurate even tho it says they're using "real time rank trending numbers". It's organized by the media based on the most discussed song across the media. What's visually appealing to me is the billboards charts It shows the top artists and songs that are tending across the world. This caught my attention because I do music as a side interest 

I can play this beat if you would like I couldn't post a link on here for everyone to hear it.

The billboard formats itself by giving other links and sub-links to the audience to give them a chance to find other subtopics, interest, and research for certain audiences. It also gives the audience other possibilities for other topics besides music. How I see the author trying to get the audience attention is by Using the poll charts as a appealing such as using the media to attract the numbers on how many streams like iTunes, Pandora or awards such as the Grammys awards and the bet awards. 

Another blog to use would be Yahoo sports for the people who like to do fantasy drafts and watch sports This is the blog for you.  https://sports.yahoo.com/ . 

Now this is the kind of blog I can see myself reading. I do watch a lot of football and do fantasy drafts sometimes. I like to keep up on my team's progression throughout the season. For people who like to stay on top of the sport news this is where you belong. What I don't like about this blog/website is that it's very disorganized visually now the links/sub-links are organized by the sports. (the links themselves are disorganized but each link does give you a similar article to what you're looking for). The whole format is more about sports then any other news It's more about the sport news aspect when looking at this particular blog/website. The author's main objective is to bring more so the sport fans to this particular blog; this blog contains the news upon each categorized sport such as schedules, live game scores, player stats reports. 

 

Now the last blog that caught my interest would be the business side of Insider: https://www.businessinsider.com/ 

This blog contains articles and links about the business news side of the world such as stocks, polls, finance and other strategies. This piqued my interest because it gives you an inside of what it looks like on the business side. it can show a real life stock market graph overview for people who are into stocks or cryptocurrency. Now I don't see any downside or anything particular that I don't like about this blog. If I was into stocks or anything similar to this blog I would definitely consider using this blog as a resource to use. This kind of format brings the professional business side of the blogs by showing the stock markets from different companies, their analyzed data from over the years such as sales and product(supply and demand). The author chooses to use data of future and past sales, analyzed data, and ratios data throughout the whole blog.
