While all of the above prove to be a good read, there is one that stood out to me for a variety of reasons.  Kat Hasenauer Cornetta writes the blog a sportsgirlkat.com. She is a communications and technology assistant at the university level and a sports writer on the side. These 2 areas of expertise are all displayed in her blog. 

Kat Hasenauer Cornetta aka SportsGirlKat 


Her greatest strength by far is the witty and personable voice that is well heard throughout her blogs. Knowing that each post I read will have topics I enjoy in the same quirky voice makes it that much more enjoyable. As mentioned before she is very familiar with the areas of communication, technology, and sports. These are the topics discussed in her blog which gives her readers the assurance that what they are reading is written by someone who is educated in the field. The final strength that this blog has is it's relatable nature. She has a post titled, "Everything I Know About Marketing I Learned From My Dance Studio." At first glance you may think how does this story go along with her theme but after reading it you can see very clearly. She is able to use something as relatable as dance lessons to reach her audience.

This blog, having similar topics to what mine will have, has given me the idea to not just stick with basic sports news or just the topic of sports as a whole. I can stray away and show sports in a way that is different every single week. Discussing my childhood sports experiences could be a humorous way to bring others in to what I'm talking about. The next thing I learned was that it is extremely important to have a defined voice in your blogs. When the reader is drawn in to your personality then the story won't matter as much as how you tell it.

The only weakness I can find is that her site design is a little on the plain side, but the stories spice up the page!
