These are blogs that I follow:
Pamie.com
This is the personal blog of author and roller girl Pamela Ribon, whom I interviewed for my enterprise story. Its strength stems from its humor. Pamie often quotes entire conversations with and videos of her mother, who is essentially a supporting character on the blog. She also posts the chronicles of "Little Pam" by way of diary entries and love letters she wrote when she was 16. She plays to her strengths with clever titles and a simple, cheerful template. Her blog has actually created a community. When she was here in Athens, she stayed with two of her readers, who actually met via her blog.
Fitness Hotspots
...also a blog with a roller girl author (among other contributors.) This blog provides helpful information for those of us who play sports and/or exercise regularly. The template makes it look hard core, and even though the video presentations are a little cheesy, they're extremely helpful. The blog plays up its strengths with its organization. Readers can access exactly the information they want from the categories in the sidebar. The community is cemented by way of the blogroll (also in the sidebar.) This trainer invites roller girl traffic to her site by calling attention to theirs.
The Well-Timed Period
I have to admit I was drawn to this one because the title is hilarious. This blog provides myriad links to women's health in the news. It also provides a lot of opinions even I would call overly P.C. but I suppose it's important that we stay abreast (get it?) of the current terms for contraceptives and such. As for strengths, the sidebar gives resources to help women deal with (you guessed it) their periods. This obviously applies to a community (about 50% of the population). I think the blog would be more appealing to said community if the template were a bit more professional-looking and if the author didn't put out such attitude.
