Blog Post #1

I personally  liked the first article better (Web design), but both served its purpose. Both articles felt very impersonal, but that is understandable since they are both written for job purposes and not for personal gain. Both articles also focused on factual things people learn, not "personal truths." In my opinion, "personal truths" are always more fun to read. They are always more memorable too. With a "factual" essay, they just seem to be more cold; by cold, I mean they don't feel like everyone can relate to them. With a "personal truth" type essay, it would be easier to relate with the author, since everyone has life-changing experiences, even if they are all different.

While these articles are good examples of what sort of essay we are going to be writing, I wish we had read a "personal truth" essay with it, since that is the type of essay I am going to be writing. An example of a "personal truth" would also be nice because with the "factual" essays graphs, tables, and pictures come into play to make their story stronger. How in the world can you put those in a "personal truth" essay?
