AKA NOT OK

AKA121 is a blog of fellow classmates of mine, whom I do not know.  I think their theme was suppose to go for soothing and simple but unfortunately comes too close to drab and unimaginative.  The background is pure white with light gray writing which made me turn down the brightness on my screen so I could read the writing.  There are no taglines or witty sayings to entice the viewer to read any specific post.  This in turn already lets the viewer down when he does choose a post to view.   I will say I like the variety of pictures they post with each posting.  The man with the windmill beard made me laugh.
There is no evidence of passion in any of the writings.  I know it is hard to get passionate about and excerpt from a boring text book, but common, college students perfecting faking everything through high school.  Some of the most amazing papers I have seen praised by teachers and professors was written by students who were burning the midnight oil at 2 a.m., 8 hours before the paper is due.  If you can do that, you can pull some creativity out of a 3 paragraph blog post.  I tend to like points being made through writing by NOT directly saying what the writer's point is.  I like the reader to do their own thinking.  This does 2 things, it keeps the reader focused on what the topic is and it lets different readers come to different conclusions around the same idea.  If AKA121 would just cause the reader to do a little thinking, I think my approval would rise.
The thing AKA121 does well is they are directly on point and remain relevant to the topic.  The post at least twice a week (the requirement for the class) which shows they are at least good students.  It is easy to navigate the page and I was able to see what each of the authors posted.  My note to you, AKA121, is entice me! Draw me in with flare and creativity.  If not for me, do it for Jimmy.
