Blog Critique

Fearlessly Chique

Fearlessly Chique is a blog about modesty created by Liberty students. This blog is extremely well done and very helpful for girls who are looking for fashionable yet modest advice on outfits. The design and look of the blog draws female readers in to find out what exactly this blog is all about. It is also very organized, making it easy to know where to go if you want to read about a specific subject. This blog is helpful for not only tips on how to create modest and fashionable outfits, but it is also helpful for finding affordable outfits. At the end of each "Outfit of the Week" post, each article of clothing is listed with the store where it was purchased and the price. There are links for Blogspot, Facebook and Twitter if the reader wants to contact the writers. This blog is well written, but one critique of the writing is there are some typos and grammatical errors. Another critique is the lack of linking. There are barley any links used in this blog. Linking could be very helpful if the reader wanted to look up prices or different stores online. One last critique for this blog is that there has not been any activity since last semester. I am not sure if the writers have graduated and therefore do not publish anymore, but if that is the case they should have posted something to tell their audience about this.
