All week I have been thinking about my "blogger personality and style", and how important it is; I believe that it sets you aside from all the other bloggers in social media. You need to come up with a specific way of writing and speaking to your audience and maintain that voice to gain strong viewers who value your writing and opinion. Although my blogs are not as thought provoking as some others may be (I do speak on celebrities and their behavior not politics) I do want to maintain some consistency so people will know what to expect. I believe that my blogger personality includes:
1. Excitement- I want to be able to engage my viewers using different resources (pictures, video etc.)
2. Talk to them as a friend- I believe the best way to communicate with someone is talking to them as a friend and using language they can relate to.
3. Humor- Humor is very important, especially when speaking about a topic like this, people want to laugh (especially at other people) so if you provide them with this opportunity they will become loyal to your site.
4. First- Blogging about celebrities you NEED to be the first one on the scene, people want to know what is happening NOW, not what happen yesterday
5. Honest - Provide information that has something to back it up, making up rumors to get people to come to your blog will hurt you in the end because you will develop a poor reputation. In this industry reputation is very important because blogs are very competitive.
6. Communicate - I want to be able to stimulate communication between people, I want them to think about things in a different way and not just the way the media wants you to think.
7. Creative - Expressing views and information using other methods, as well as making interesting comparisons to engage my audience.
2 Blogs that I believe represent my views are:
1. I think everyone knows who this person is, he provides people with celebrity information but with a twist his motto is "celebrity juice, not from concentrate.." I think it is pretty clever and although his blogs are somewhat intrusive I do find his writing interesting and creative

2. www.thesuperficial.com Discusses celebrity gossip and information, similar format to Perez hilton, they are able to engage audiences and allow them to communicate their thoughts on the blog itself which makes it seem like a friend talking to another friend (more intimate than someone just reading an article, and not having a way of communicating their thoughts/interests)
Check out the websites and let me know what you think!!
