Blog Of the Day – Day 9
August 8th, 2009
For today’s winner, we go even further afield than yesterday. In fact, from where I live, we go to the opposite side of the globe, to South Eastern Australia.
I have to confess that, once again, this is a blog that I have been watching for some time. I have noticed a definite theme developing in terms of the blogs that have won the Blog Of the Day Award. Almost without exception, they share certain characteristics … the best word that I can find to summarise these qualities is that they are all engaging, and that’s very true of today’s winner.
Looking at previous posts on today’s winning blog, we find good use of pictures and graphics. As far as content goes, there’s a nice mixture between internet marketing, associated topics and some personal glimpses. These definitely tell a story and they do it simply and eloquently. The latest blog post details the anxiety of preparing and shooting that important first video.
A link to the video itself would ensure even more viewers, especially because of the freeze-frame image that it would have, though this is a very minor carp on my part ! But do click on the link to see it on YouTube because it’s well worth it ! I think that this is probably the best video that I have seen by any of my fellow students so far.
Not only is it different and novel, but I found it charming and captivating. And there are double digit comments on the post that agree with me.
So, for all of this – but especially for that video – today’s Blog Of The Day Award goes to Melanie Steeden for www.melaniesteeden.com.
Congratulations Melanie, your Blog Of The Day badge is on its way !

Hi Roger,
Well done for pointing out all these great posts, I’ve missed some of them as there are a lot of student blogs to get round and you’ve found a couple I hadnt visited before,
Thanks

Thanks Keith – I do my best and in fact, whilst my little competition has been going, I may have spent more time looking than I normally would commenting
But you’re right, there are so many blogs out there … if there are any that you think I should be checking out, please let me know !
All the best,
Roger
