MarineBio Conservation Society Blog

The language contains an overview

of each information provided as
well as links to find more
information. In this example
animal names like plankton,
"Inquisitive Pipe fish", and etc.

Commenting section that contains

links to other social media pages to
comment on and present your
interest to others.

Claims

As you can see, the page layout is

organized well centering on the
bloggers images/videos/text.

The content is videos of deep sea

marine conservation areas,
techniques to fish in a way that
preserves marine life, and climate
change issues and possible
solutions.

The MarineBio
Conservation Society Blog is
a place where professionals
relay information thats
open to everyone to
comment on whether its
other peers or a simple
spectator.

The issues I noted is that

the way they interconnect
the ways of commenting is
not simply commenting its
advertising the post to
others not necessarily
adding the comments.
There was a page where the
video was posted where
viewers shared their
opinions of the video as well

as ways to make the video

better.

At first glance it is organized to

simply to view the blogs contents.

The ways that they make up

for that is supplying links in
which you can directly
comment on the page.

It contains a reply area that is on

the webpage for ease of access.

In all the webpage involves

bloggers thoughts involving
biological and chemistry focused
laboratory techniques as well as
theories to better experiments and
etc.

The language used requires you to

have a knowledge higher than a
high school biology/chemistry
class. E.g.: qRT-PCR experiment,
E.coli ligase, T4 ligase, SDSpolyacrylamide, and etc.

As far as Straumsheim, Is
Blogging Unscholarly?
article I feel as though this
blog is unchanged no
matter what events occur. It
simply relays information
that doesnt necessarily
require peoples acceptance
of it.
While viewing the comment
pages they only express
satisfaction of the video and
peers relay software ideas to
make the video better.

Evidence:

people not specialized in the area

are unable to join in the
conversation. So the commenters
are limited to those who have
interest and at times that doesnt
happen so some blogs are left
unanswered or even unseen.

Although there is a commenting

section the need for replies isnt
there because the bloggers typically
provide something of their interest
and because of the specificity of
science not everyone on the site
will have interest.

Claims:

The ease of access for the bloggers

as well as the readers makes the
content the most important not the
style of the webpage. Its meant to
relay information and ideas.

On this webpage I didnt note any

controversial conversation between
blogger and commenters typically
its agreement or information to
further assist the blogger.

The bloggers can be from

biology/chemistry professionals to
college students majoring in
biology/chemistry as well as for the
commenters.

Because the language is set to be

for people within the field ordinary

As for Straumsheim view on blogs

this particular blog proves his
thoughts wrong; this blog contains
scholarly ideas as well as lexis. It
involves factual techniques and
methods of improvement.
