Frumpzilla
Frumpzilla.com is a sports, entertainment, and social commentary blog. The biggest strength is the diversity of college sports covered. The teams covered can make this blog usable to any college sports fan because if you keep checking back, something about your team is bound to show up. This creates repeat traffic. It plays to this strength by posting scores, highlights, but also funny videos about teams that you may not find on a more professional site. Frumpzilla uses the Facebook fan page and Twitter to market themselves. Although it covers a lot on the front page, other sports stories can be found on the sidebar with links for readers.
FPRA blog
The Florida Public Relations Association blog has the most strength in professional design. This blog is designed to where it doesn't even look like a blog. Sometimes, blogs turn me off because they look very unprofessional, even if they have a meaningful goal. Having a professional and organized blog allows for many links and subheads, without them looking sloppy. Everything is organized and easy to find. It builds a community by giving links to events, and also teaching how to run a professional blog.
Athensworld
Athensworld.com is a blog aboutl life in Athens, GA. It's biggest strength is that it's frequently updated. I would say the biggest strength of this blog is that when I googled "athens georgia blogs" it was the first thing that came up. So, it has enough tags to get it up high on the search engine list. It plays on this strength by then having a variety of stories, about politics and nightlife, so it will attract a diverse (and large) group of viewers. It has links to the stories it uses for sourcing - for example the AJC article on Chambliss.
