Blogs I checked out...

  I liked the look of this blog, the background didn't clash with all that was going on in the blog.  I enjoyed the variety of articles, and they varied from dating to Black history to current events.  It will definitely be a blog I will go back to.  There was nothing I didn't like.

  This is a site full of blogs. I can't say FOR SURE that they are all by Black authors, but that's what it says.  I like the way the site opens with all the different types of blogs available, but also has a list of their bloggers in case people have favorites.  They also have ads that pertain to mostly Black people, and on the bottom a row of general current events such as tax time, the upcoming Golden Globes, and that Beiber kid.  I will be going back to that site, also.

   Since I wear my hair naturally, I had to find a natural hair care site.  I was excited just looking at the different blog excerpts:  'Benefits of Extra Virgin Olive Oil', 'Tips for Controlling Dandruff', and one where someone is stressed about making that processed to natural transition (so many people have asked me about it, I could use some more information).  I like the way it looks and the colors used.  All the blog sites have given me ideas of how I would like my blog to look!
