A blog is successfull by primarily the quality and quantity of its content however other side dishes entice the reader such as its layout , style , use of multimedia and when all of this is brought together how controversial the blog is . The blog Wanna.b.Journos ( http://www.wannabjournos.com/ ) is a blog which in aspects of this fails whilst in other aspects exceeds creating a dilemma for any potential reader. The content of this blog is varied ranging from well written critical anlyses of local and International controversial topics to excessivley personnel and slightly mundane experiences of the bloggers. The blog is filled with articulatley written pieces on issues concerning not only readers in Grahamstown but readers from across the globe and includes posts ranging from racism at Rhodes University to Barack Obama's Nobel peace prize. However this content is often personell almost to the extent of a stream of consciousness which detracts from the professionalism of the blog and bores the already inattentive readers. The layout of the blog echoes what it is about and who is writing giving the reader an immediate sense of what they are going to be reading. Multimedia included in this blog is lacking and the use of more photographs as well as video clips would enhance the readers experience. This blog has various admirable qualities could be enhanced to become like the blog Heavy Chefs ( http://www.heavychefs.com/ ) using large amounts of multimedia and keeping all content topic specific.
