  1. I really like how you kept it simple but still descriptive enough to understand. The different variation of color from the typical black font gives your blog a unique touch. Lastly, I would advise you to put a date on each post.

  2. I admire how you used different colors on your blog to capture the readers attention. I also find it helpful how you put the topics in bold words and used descriptive words to describe the topic so we would be able to understand. Last but not least I think you should put examples of each topic so that the reader can get a better understanding.
