blog critique.

i don't really read other peoples blogs too mcuh these days. but back in the day, i read a few of them regularly. probably one of the FIRST ever blogs i discovered was PINKISTHENEWBLOG. i enjoyed it reading trent's updates because well, it's full of the latest and juiciest celeb gossips!! and come on, who doesnt love reading about what britney spears was doing last night?! i know everyone does to some extent in their lives...

PITB (for short..) is created by trent vanegas, who is an ex-teacher from detroit, USA. most of his readers basically know who he is cause in pretty much every entry, at the end he fills us in on his own personal life. so we get to know about his gay lover, fmaily and friends, not to mention all the coool gigs he gets to attend ... eg. like, meeting his idol MADONNA. guess you could say he's a bit like PEREZ HILTON, a fellow blogger, who is also gay && LOVES PINK! in my opinion the difference is,... trent was here first!

the blog's content is entertainment, news and gossip!! in each entry, trent gives his audience the latest celeb gossip, complete with pictures (some are explicit!) and he also adds his own personal opinion to each news item. after talknig bout celebs, he likes to talk about his own life and what he gets up to everyday.

the blog has been operating for several years now...since 2004, so that's almost 4 years of blogging!! =D woww he is dedicateddd.

pinkisthenewblog has been quoted in various media products such as magazines like cosmopolitan and cleo. as myself have observed over the years...many celebs are also affliated with him...for example... joel madden of good charlotte...that boy is good friends with trent. =)

the blogs style is basically that used by blogspot or blogger.com and uses pink and black. the background is black and the font colours used are pink, however, where trent copies and pastes excerpts from news articles, he puts them in white font. there are also a number of different ads placed down either side of the page as you scroll down. oh and did i mention he also writes in BOLD each celebritys name, so you know who he is talking bout. trent also personalises his pictures by captionalising each pic.

so i guess you could say that pinkisthenewblog has become quiite popular over the 4 years, amongst those who love reading about celebs. its soo juiicyyy and enjoyable for people who like reading SOFT news. =)

but...personally...in recent months...i think perez hilton has taken over as most popular blogger.... =)

well, guess thats it!
