Blog Critique : Basic Blogging for Women

The Blog, basicly encouraging women to start blogging. I think it's important because once in a while I thinking Blog is a great way to express themselves, think about new mom that often have after born depression, they may have use blog to expressing themselves rather than just standing alone taking care her new child. That is some of my opinion about why women must start blogging, "basic blogging for women" can be considered useful resources because it have interview with some successful female blogger.

The publisher of this Podcast is female blogger named Britt Bravo and she's from US. She is true blogger, and also produces podcast and teaches how to create both of them. She start posting this blog since last year at October 2006 and the blog last post are in December 2006 and since then the activity seem stopped. Her blog seem very simple with only white background, I got the feeling that Britt try to make her blog with formal concept, there not much design or anything that can attract our eyes, even she and her friends post with proper language.

Although the blog is created mainly for women; the content also gives useful material for helping every people to start their blog and enlarge it. There are two posts that actually catch my attention; 'How to Decide What Kind of Blog to Write' and '12 Way to Get More Blog Readers', these two topics is really useful resources; especially when u wants to start to write a blog.

The blog seem not very popular, as I cannot find the sitemeter i cannot calculate average reader of the blog. However I come to conclusion that the blog is not has many viewer, but even it only few people read her blog they are considered loyal viewer that often come and exchange their opinion with Britt; what I think here if they already exchange their opinion with britt, then she must be have done very got job. Interesting part is she do an interview with other female blogger, one that quite interesting is her interview with Katya Andressen, a vice president for marketing of nonprofit companies; Network for Good. Katya answer in Britt blog is excellent explain everything she's answer it straightforward makes people that read her interview bit jealous to her (I do).

Although her blog use many pictures; she never has the problem with the copyright. I think it's the matter of professionalism (I almost post her picture here), every picture she post always include the information about where she got that picture and the copyright issue. What make Basic Blogging for Women become very helpful to everyone because it gives useful resources from the expert itself that already success writes numerous blog. I don't know why Britt stopped posting in her blog; but I'm sure if she still continues her blog it will help a lot of people that want to start to write a blog either it male or female.
