The blog I am reviewing is entitled "Welcome to Loud City." It's main writer is J.A. Sherman, who describes himself as "a decades old NBA junkie thoroughly enjoying the blogging experience. The URL for his profile is the following: http://www.sbnation.com/users/J.A.%20Sherman/activity?community_id=203
The blog is a professional blog for fans of the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder. As such, it contains various content regarding the team and its members, including Sherman's recounting of games and post game reactions, videos of press conferences, etc., and quotes regarding the team from the team or someone else, perhaps another team. Its posts are organized chronologically, as most blogs are. It also provides links within its posts to access the full content provided, especially if only a few quotes are taken from a certain interview or an original report is needed to confirm what Sherman posts to the blog.
I believe that Sherman's blogging style is extremely effective and very viewer friendly. He provides a wide range of content for a viewer to go through and makes the site interactive through its use of polls, comments, etc. His use of various forms of posts, whether its a video, a gamecast, or a post game analysis really gives a fan or just a casual viewer such as me a wide range of content to go through and enjoy. I particularly enjoy the way he takes quotes away from press conferences that he believes the viewer will enjoy, while providing the link in case the reader wants to see more. This ensures the blog remains easy to read and that people will not get bored and look at something else.
