Your blog was pretty good i thought. Not that I know anything about blogging. If I had to make some pointers, I would say to use actual quotes, use quotation marks maybe. I have not been through the AP style handbook yet, but i think we are supposed to use quotes. Comment on mine too, I could use the help I'm sure haha. See you in class.

I liked your story. It showed caring for the people you were writing about. I think there could have been some quotes in there to add authenticity. I liked the statement at the end. Ending with something like that leaves the reader with a little more than just a "blaw" story. Good Job! Cody
