Review: summer-2022.blogspot.com

This is a review on a fantastic tutorial-style blog, CIS 210 Social Website development assignments ! For all things Blogger, be sure to check out this very helpful blog! The posts are informative and easy to follow. The creator uses screen grabs and attention-grabbing symbols like check marks and underlining that help explain their topic even more. They prioritize accessibility, their symbols are high contrast and they include alt-tags on their images.  Also, they prioritize design. They use a beautiful blue theme! It truly reflects the writer's love for nature.   My favorite post, Theme Can Capture Your Audience ,   is an outside-the-box post with great descriptive writing that includes a hyperlink, which reads, “Click to Change Your Theme.”  This leads to a well written tutorial on how to customize your blog and it's theme. So creative!
