Niche Blog Research
This blog site is written just like an article would be. It is one column with text and then a few pictures. It bolds who is talking. The interviewer takes part and includes his dialogue in the blog post along with the interviewee. There is a paragraph under the title that shares what the interview is about and who the interviewee is. The author's name is a link and brings you to a page about them.There isn't very many advertisements on this page, but there are other articles that you can click on to read. BuzzFeed is a very popular site that almost everyone has been on at one point in their life. This post allows you to share it on many forms of social media. There are also links on the page to "like us on Facebook." There is a place to put comments, however, this specific post does not have any. I would think that anyone who is in to comic books would read this article. I do not think this specific post would draw any more attention to one gender or race over another.

This page is very neat and organized. There is a title at the top, the name of the interviewee on the left with a button to subscribe, and the video on the right. TEDx talks consist of people sharing their stories, thoughts, and opinions. The article written on Norman shares what he will be talking about in the video as well as some information about him. There are no advertisements on this page. There are buttons on the page that allow you to share the video on various forms of social media. Like BuzzFeed, TED talks are very popular now and the site itself has a lot of likes. On the site itself you are not able to make comments, but you are able to on the YouTube channel. I feel that people with a variety of interests could use TED talk. The stories of many different people are told here making it appealing to many different kinds of people.

This is a very basic blog page where the text is written with a question first and then the reply. There is a short paragraph in the beginning sharing information on the interviewee. There are no advertisements on the page even though in the top right hand corner there seems to have been advertisements that have been deleted. In the first paragraph only, there are words that have hyperlinks that bring to to different pages; they seem to all be about the interviewee. There is a hyperlink in the author's name that brings you to a page that lists all of her blogs. The only think I see regarding social media is a small button at the bottom of the page that says "Facebook comments plugin."
