Not an extreme foodie who acts pretentious when it comes to food, but someone who loves a good meal. My interest in this topic probably sparked when I was born, but that\u2019s also the case for everyone because who doesn\u2019t not like to eat. This interested sprouted all thanks to my parents. As a seven year old I had my first bite of sushi and would continuously experience and take risks with food. Instead of wanting mac n\u2019 cheese for dinner, I would lean more towards a tender steak. The family vacations added to the adventure as I even ate pizza from Paris that had hummus and eggplant on it. It might have looked like throw up, but definitely tasted like heaven. It also adds that during Jewish holidays, family members would be cooking homemade recipes that my great grandma passed on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2013\/09\/385318_584520184896777_893184359_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-272\" alt=\"385318_584520184896777_893184359_n\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2013\/09\/385318_584520184896777_893184359_n-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2013\/09\/385318_584520184896777_893184359_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/wrpg211\/files\/2013\/09\/385318_584520184896777_893184359_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So then I though if I love food, because again, who doesn\u2019t, then why not base a section of my blog around it. It would consist of recipes, reviews, pictures, and even videos. I\u2019ve found in today\u2019s digital age that photographs and videos make blogs seem more appealing. Although I do not have a primary food blog that I visit daily, I came across a blog called 80 Breakfasts <a href=\"http:\/\/80breakfasts.blogspot.com\/\">http:\/\/80breakfasts.blogspot.com\/<\/a>. This blog gives great reviews and descriptions of good, quality foods and with that there\u2019s a picture that comes with every post. The pictures are high quality photos that will make your mouth start to water. The website is exactly what a food blog should look like. Bright happy colors that make you want to dive into the information that the blog may have for you. There are posts at least once a week, which would also be similar to what I would do including it can be hard to find a quality recipe. I would also make posts based on the season. If I come across a recipe that\u2019s great for the summer, I would just create a queu to post when summer is approaching.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Not only would my blog be food oriented but it would also consists of some fashion and style commentary. The style section of my blog would be picture oriented. Basing it off of one of my favorite fashion blogs, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.manrepeller.com\/\">http:\/\/www.manrepeller.com\/<\/a> this blog is up to date and every short article on it also comes with beautiful pictures of whatever fashion topics they\u2019re writing about. I would update the style section of the blog once a week as well. Adding any current fashion news and styles to look out for. I love scrolling through photos of current fashion trends so why not bring that to my blog.<\/p>\n<p>With bringing things to my blog, according to Brian Carroll in \u201cWriting for Digital Media\u201d, stated, \u201cIn addition, writing in a conversational tone, one not unlike that used for email, leverages online\u2019s capacity for interpersonal communication, or communication very different and much more personal than mass media deliver.\u201d As Carroll mentions to have a more conversational voice in blog writing, this might come to be a struggle for me. Although I try to add voice into my blog writing, I\u2019ve become so used to writing in a formal tone that it will take time to switch to writing in a more conversational tone.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m also hopeful that this blog will be easy to share with others. There\u2019s only one way to get your blog out, and that\u2019s sharing through social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m a foodie.
