The Situation

Template: For my blog I chose the most studious template of all! After all, our studies are the reason that we are all here, right? I thoroughly sorted through all of the templates. The background that appealed to me most consisted of a well-stocked book shelf. It is colorful enough to grab your attention, but it won't take away from the most glorious blogs of all time. My font is basic and simple. This is again, to not take away from the art that is written on my pages.

Title: My blog title, "The Melting Pot" illustrates what my blog will consist of. Numerous pieces of the most random, yet appealing written reflections. I see myself as a melting pot in many different ways. My heritage is a simple example. Like most Americans I am mixed with a few different backgrounds. I am mostly Italian, German and Sicilian. (Now you know the reasoning for my over sized nose!) Another reason I consider myself as a melting pot is because of all of the experiences I have been through in my young adult life. College Sports, the Army and the overall "stresses of adulthood", have molded me into the man that I am today. Finally, the melting pot terminology also relates to the typical college experience. It is not only a mixture of educational classes, but a variety of life choices and stresses. This will all shape us after a few short years into successful young professionals.

Pages: To this point I have two pages on my blog. I have an "About Me" page that obviously briefly explains my story. It tells you who I am, where I am from, why I have made the blog and how I got here. I also have a "Home" page. This is where you will find all of the latest excitement in my life! The point of my posts are to not only accomplish an assignment, but to keep you pacing in your room just waiting for that next post!

Analysis: To this point, my blog is quite similar to my personality. Not only does it represent the focus of education, but it represents the fact that quality and original things can be constructed around simple and less "flashy" illustrations. This way it serves a strong and concise execution. This is my first blog, so as expected it has taken some work. I have inserted a link list so that you, the reader can attach my work on your pages, if you deem necessary. I will be sure to consistently add more posts, pictures and excitement to this Melting Pot! Be sure to check back soon!
