New Blogging Sites

This week, we have to find three different websites to work with and find the best one to build a whole website for. Since I am going to be blogging and vlogging, I am not looking for a website to make, I am looking for blogging websites. I found Tumblr, WordPress, and Weebly. 

I really liked Tumblr, but at my school the site is web-sensed, so it is hard to get into and isn't worth it. I liked the different themes to do and it seemed like a really user-friendly site, but I am not going to use it because it is too complicated for the uses that I need for this semester.

I disliked WordPress because for some reason, I was unable to get past the home screen. I logged in many times but I could not find how to direct where I wanted to go, so I decided I would not use it. 

I really enjoy Weebly. I think that I will keep this blog and use it for my semester project because it is very simple to use so far, it directs me exactly where I need to go to get it started, and I really like how many themes it had and how I could change the colors of them easily. 


Below is the link to my Weebly website. 


Book v. Movie


To name my website, I read a few different articles on how to think of a name that would fit my article best. One told me that I should first think of exactly what I was going to put in my blog. At that point, I knew I wanted to do book or movie reviews, but I knew that it was too broad of a subject for just one blog, so I had to make it more specific. I decided that my blog is going to compare the movies that I have seen that were made from books that I have read, and then open it up to the public to also decided by creating a poll that they can use. Once I figured out my plan exactly, the article said that I should make the name easy, short, and let the reader know exactly what the website was for, just by reading the title of it. I chose Book v. Movie because it is short and I think it tells exactly what I am doing in the blog.
