Blogs take up a large portion of websites on the internet. In order for a blog to gain visitors, it must have an attractive outlook, easy to navigate, include pictures, and include relevant information.
Pharyngula (http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/) is a well designed science blog. Compared to the other two, this for sure is the best. First off, it is very organized. Navigational buttons on the top of the page allow visitors to visit different pages of the website. The main page shows the latest blog entries, each with a big bold heading. Under the heading is the category in which the blog entry belongs to. At the end of each entry shows the time of when it was posted, and a link to which visitors could view or leave comments. Also, the left side of the blog shows the creator's profile and a list of recent posts and comments. Good organization makes the blog easy to navigate. Secondly, the Pharyngula blog does not make visitors bored. YouTube clips that relate to the content are added to some of the entries so that it isn't just filled with words. Even if there aren't pictures, each entry is short, brief, and relevant so that viewers would not be tired from doing too much reading. Lastly, this blog has a nice attractive layout. The banner, small icon at the end of each entry, and neatly organized layout can make the site stickier to visitors.
