One of the blogs I read was "Ramblin' Rround: An adventure or two" which you can find here:
written by friends of mine, Jess & Brian
They're blog is an informal record of their day to day adventures overseas and what they encounter along thier travels. The purpose of this blog is to inform the reader, be it family, friends, or anyone, what they two of them are doing, where they are, and describing each place they visit. Parts of thier blog are used to persuade the reader to visit the location in which they're at or to convince the reader that where they are is a (insert adjective here) kind of place. Some of the appeals and techniques this blog uses are emotional and informational. They include facts about the locations they travel to but also the emotions that they endure in each place. For example, They write about how they are excited to begin teaching classes. The writers seem very trustworthy and believable because they are in the location in which they are telling about, giving them knowledge and first hand experience. There are all sorts of different contexts in this blog including social, historical, cultural, and psychological. The argument the writers are making is supported by photos of events and places. I really like this blog too because the language that is used is made to seem like you would be having a conversation with these people and as though they are talking directly to you, telling you a story, which makes the blog more interesting and less intimidating to read and follow.
