I was given the task of writing about film and TV for our ReviewTube blog, and on Monday I had the ‘Tube of the Day’. Overall I had a good experience posting on the blog, and bar one day I was successful at posting daily.
The aspect that worked well for the blog, I thought, was the layout, logo and slogan. It was simplistic yet it made it obvious what they blog was about, as well incorporating some slight humour via the pun on the name ‘YouTube’. As the target audience for our blog were students, I think we all successfully managed to attain to this level, creating a humours, colloquial style which suited our blog, and we all complimented one another with our style and posting.
The blog was very well organised beforehand, whereby we all knew what we were to post and when. Very rarely were posts made on top of one another or forgotten about.
Generally I am happy with the posts I made, especially the video choices. However, there were a couple of posts were the style wandered slightly from the norm, and became maybe too pretentious, however these only came with shows/films that I was unfamiliar with, but I did attempt to post various different videos from different genres.
My main problem was finding material to post. YouTube has over 5 million different videos and it did become laborious to search for one video that I found suitable and met the criteria that I had set. I didn’t want to just find a trailer and review it. I didn’t find any problems with posting everyday, however there was a day where I forgot. I found the more I posted the easier it became for me to review the videos, and maintain a similar style.

Good eval - though there are a few typos here and there. It's interesting that it became easier to write in the appropriate style the more you did it? Did it get any easier finding material too?
Was it a problem being 'too pretentious' about some of the things you found? Some of the student target audience might like that, maybe...
