The Uncharted Comparison

The blogosphere is very comparable, and after reading “The Uncharted Dragon“, I noticed many similarities, and many strategies to use for my own blog. The author, Meg can be found on Twitter & Instagram where she helps collaborate with her blog. Her voice characterizes the “all-most senior-graduated” looking to help those coming through the ranks of college. Starting with how to promote better academic progress, she also covers in how to overcome the hard times and how our generation typically reacts to different variables of life.

Her categories list are about Growing Up, a laughing section, and lastly College, this allows the reader to navigate not just on topic sentences but on the emotion the reader has. Going further into depth, her hyperlinks address many very on point sites that can have direct impact on how you are behaving and forces the reader to change or adapt to the college life in a positive way. For example, one hyperlink allows you drop off emotional baggage, while another can take you to the Forbes website, indicating where most millennials will end up.  And then there are gifs, with Meg, she uses comedy to push her readers further down her page, but with her GIF’s, don’t expect to move too fast as her images are funny and very relevant to her topics.

Her page is very slick, with her blog posts reading from most recent to the oldest, widgets and categories are captured in her sidebar, making navigation throughout her page very easy. Meg’s future posts that she intends to write about are also important, giving her audience an idea of what to expect. This bucket list page, entails, detailed topics that make the readers come back ready to be confronted with more information regarding life as a college rook. When looking even deeper throughout her blog, you consistently notice the “millennial” feel, as most GIF’s are based upon our lives growing up through the 90’s and throughout the millennium, making her topics and comedy feel more relative to us.

Comparing ours, I have learned that this blog may need some finer tuning, like preparing my bow. To further produce knowledge on topics, and teach readers about how to properly hunt and to show research, my posts need to almost convey the same ideas as Meg’s. Pushing hyperlinks to my stats, and other sources that can really develop an understanding on what I’m writing. And even finding a stronger voice, so the readers understand who is talking and from what point of view, as each post doesn’t have a constant voice. This could include more photos, GIFs, and even more tweets and Instagram posts.

Through the same lens, Meg and I could possibly conduct a post about how to understand the pros and cons of using social media throughout our topics, as both are a constant evil for both to our topics. For example, college and hunting can be directly impacted with social media, because staying focused is the name of the game. This post can altered to make sure it still comes out as her voice and communicate through different aspects maintain her image on her posts, while mine can do the same, and they will overall cover the topic of how the two must be aware of how the outcomes of the modern world and social media.

The Uncharted Dragon is a must read blog, if you are starting your own or looking for help in a college basis. She helps capture and motivate her audience with research and background in living the lifestyle. Stay up to date with her posts, and look forward to reading what she plans to bring to the table…
