So I took Prof. Peele's challenge to heart and started fiddling with my blog design and layout using the new Template Design feature offered by blogger. I have to say it was "super cool" to add some new things that I would never think of adding to my blog typically.
For instance, I added the 5 blogs that I follow with brief excerpts of their most recent posts. I think this is amazing from a consumer and advertising perspective. As a consumer, I can share my interests with people by showing the blogs I subscribe to and as an advertiser (if I were to monetize my blog and have ads) I could get more "organic" traffic to my blog if someone else were to show my blog on their blog!
Another feature I added was the Youtube video feed. I chose to only add the basic "top viewed" videos (because I like to know what "the world wide web" is viewing) but I plan on creating another more personal blog and including the the guitar, sewing and comedy video series I like watching in my free time.
I think I may become an avid blogger soon because I plan on writing a book but documenting it via blogger. It would me cool to align my emotions with videos or articles or images online.
I am going to "master" Google Blogger before moving on to WordPress (although I have checked it out and it looks pretty cool as well).
