I found a blog that talks about car accident victim who has become permanently altered in brain function due to head trauma and concussion symptoms.  The blogger, with the pseudonym “Resilientheart,” has been writing consistently for the past couple years.  He started blogging on August 15, 2008, in order to tell people about the head trauma he had sustained.  He blogs to comment on his life; he talks of every day activities, setbacks that keep him from living a normal life, and the progress he is making with therapy and things.  He does not use Links, most likely because it is a personal blog.  However, he uses some media like videos and recordings to illustrate what he is going through.  Is informative and knows how to touch people through his stories of triumphs and toils.

This blog post is all about concussions.  It talks of concussion symptoms and restrictions.  It tells stories about real people who have had concussions in the past.  It also uses citations from extremely credible sources like Mayo Clinic, the University of Pittsburgh, and several others.  In effect, this blog is the electronic equivalent of the paper I wrote for my Letters and Sciences Communications 100 course.

            This was written on March 25^th, 2009, by a collaboration of people under the group name “Health Care Compliance.”  This group creates a lot of posts about medically related things.  In many respects, I feel that this blog is for the benefit of health care professionals.  Unfortunately, the bloggers have not taken the time to set up interesting media displays or use links in their posts.  This makes the blog seem very dull and boring.  If there were more links to information, more graphs, etc., there would most likely be more people viewing their information.

The blog is in a very different format from the paper I wrote for class.  Not only is it much more casual in tone, but also it lacks certain structure that would allow it to be called a professional work.
