Blog 3

1. el Estoque - The layout of the website is excellent, very modern and balanced with a mix of stories and pictures/videos. They have their paper publication and a section for videos right there on the front page. The stories are updated multiple times a week. Everything is well formatted.

2. HiLite - This website is designed professionally as well. There a many sections on the front page (so it's a little long), but it's easy to find the story you want. They have a section for social media and even a twitter feed, which is definitely something our own website should have. The stories are also updated multiple times a week, which is something we need to work on.

3. Tiger Times - The first thing I noticed when I went onto the website was the color scheme, which is made up of orange, black and white and is very attractive. I like how the font is bigger on this site as compared to others. Each story post has a picture besides it, even if it's just a small thumbnail, and this adds a lot of aesthetic appeal. If the stories were updated more frequently this would definitely be my favorite website.

1. Las Vegas student immerses himself in in K-pop culture

The title itself is eye-catching simply because of how unique the topic is. The story is not really a story but a profile with questions and quotes and no transitions, which works surprisingly well in this case.

2. Replace textbooks with tablets

This is a short opinion piece which has a title that tells you right off what the story is about and what the writer believes. I like the work because it's short and relevant, just the type of story to have on a website.
