I subscribed to these blog;
School Lunch Talk
Daily Spark
A Sizable Apple
CNN
AOL
and the blogs of my classmates.
School Lunch Talk is a great blog that I started to read as research for my paper. It talks about the loopholes in School's and also about what we're doing to make sure Nutrition is taken more into account. The Healthy Food for Healthy Schools Act is one of the steps into bettering what's served in the schools. School Lunch Talk updates the blog almost weekly, and talks about other flaws in the lunches. I couldn't believe how close this blog fell in with my topic!
Also the Daily Spark is another blog I've subscribed to. It actually was the source for my newest blog post when I read a post about how nutrition bars are supposed to be good for you but they can come with unsuspecting suprises like cavities because of the high levels of sugar. I liked this blog because it's very easy to read and the spread is not crowded. The Spark writer's choose topics that people can relate to, so I enjoy learning new things from reading!
A Sizable Apple is another blog I read, the first post I read was about how to encourage 14-19 year olds ( predominately high schoolers) how to excericize. In the post it told how one school chose pole dancing, I laughed out loud! I needed to read on, then I continued to search for more posts with this sort of hook to them. I also liked tips on fitness, because with nutrition you need to always have some sort of excercize. Although this didn't help me as much in my research paper I still liked to read the blog.
I've changed/altered my blog by going into the design template and changing some of the layout, such as where the extras were and what order they are in. I also found a neat tool that I use to easily link the blogs I subscribed to on Google reader onto my blog roll. This was a great help! I wanted the blogs I subscribe to to be at the top, so that my readers have easy access to them. Also I added writing below my title just to try out all the extras. I explored the settings, layout and monetinize sections to become more familiar with everything in the blog.

I also wanted to change the design of my blog, the blue template I had was very colorful, but it took away from the writing. Now the color of the back round is white which allows the reader to focus more on the post instead of the "decorations".
