Political Bloggg

http://mccainblogette.com/

This is Meghan McCain's blog. Most of her posts are about her daily life. Some of her posts include her appearances on shows such as Jay Leno, Carson Daly, and Ryan Seacrest. Others are playlists of songs she likes. Her other posts are about her father, John McCain, and his political campaign. A lot of her posts are photos with a little bit of explanation.


I think this blog looks more professional than all the other blogs. It is organized well. The links are not all over the place but rather on the side in a column. The pictures are very clear. A major difference is that there is a disclaimer at the bottom which states that Meghan's blog is not affiliated with her father's campaign, which I thought was strange because they are related. The other major difference I noticed was that it was written well and the grammar and spelling were correct.


Meghan McCain does not really explain any political issues she basically just posts pictures while on the campaign or her basic life so I'm not really sure there is an issue to pick so I'll just talk about her last blog entry. The latest blog entry was about her trips to Oxford and Sacramento. She presented it with a small explanation and lots of pictures with a blurb underneath each one. She was there for a book signing and to help her father with his campaign. I think she did a good job giving a brief explanation but I think she should go into more detail. The picture with one sentence underneath are repetitive and annoying after a while but overall it was good.

hey! I really like all of the detail you picked up about the mechanics of the website. it makes it seem as if you were on a mission to analyze the site & succeeded! I think it was smart that her website said that she was not affiliated with her father's campaign because if there is anything positive about him on there, it is a plus, and if there is anything that could be found negative, it can not be held against him. i do not know how you are going to follow this as a political blog because the last entry she spoke about was a trip & that is not very political. you did say she mentioned things about her father's campaign on there which is political and perhaps you could have written about that instead. just as idea for next time. i love you :)
