Blogging About Your Passion

The blog, "If You're Not Passionate About Your Message, Don't Start a Blog", from http://bloggingyourpassion.com has tips and advice about starting a blog your passionate about. The tips reminded of when my professor for the blogging class that I'm in now asked the class what are we passionate about before we created our blogs.
Before I came up with the idea, I remember not only thinking about what I am passionate about, but what I'm passionate about sharing with world. I'm passionate about music but what I love even more is sharing what I think about a particular piece whether I like it or not and then hearing other people's thoughts as well.
I agree with the blog that you can't blog to chase the money because in the early stages that you are not getting paid, you will loose interest in that blog or in blogging period. The passion is what will keep you blogging in the non-profit phase.

Nick Jonas causes controversy over gospel version of pop song, "Jealous."

In the later part of 2014, pop singer Nick Jonas released a gospel version of one of his popular songs, "Jealous."
Many youtube viewers have different opinions on the song. Some believe it has made gospel music more fun to listen too. Most believe that the lyrics are contradicting and inappropriate to be sung in a gospel manor.
With the Christian beliefs that I have, I do feel that the song is contradicting and is inappropriate for a church choir to be singing. I believe that gospel was designed to praise God and not to sing about being jealous over a significant other.
I don't see nothing wrong with the original song itself. The original song is catchy and has good beats but I do believe that it should not be song within the gospel genre.

A blog I found interesting!

The blog I found really interesting to me was http://makezine.com/craft/paper-quilled-art-roundup/ because I really enjoy being crafty while using basic materials that you find around the house. One of the major strengths of this blog is the content. I feel like the content is one of the most important things of a blog because that’s what grabs the viewer’s attention. This blog gives really good ideas of crafty art made out of paper that is more than nice of to place in a home for décor. The blog has some how-to videos and many other ideas on crafts that you can do.

Some of the ideas I got from this blog is how they organize their content into tabs.

Though the content is good I do think they could make their blog look more appealing as far as color schemes and fonts. There is nothing really eye catching about the blog besides its content. I feel the content is what saves the blog. With it being an artsy kind of blog I think the layout should be less boring and more artsy.

Who Am I?

"Free as a bird!", is what they call the Aquarius women like myself! I think that statement is pretty accurate if I must say. I'm 21 going on 22 with enough ambitions to last me a life time. I will soon be graduating from the University of Central Oklahoma, an I'm excited and ready to see where my advernturous personality takes me. I have a passion for many things but music and discovering the deeper meanings behind the lyrics is something I really enjoy.
