As blog sites go, although there is plenty of content on the homepage to scroll through there are also the standard fare of navigation buttons at the top to click on and be shuttled to mounds of information on games, tech, business, and of course my personal favorite, social media and "more" which is a catch-all for lifestyle, world, and something called "watercolor". Some of the posts on this site are dated while others aren't as you would expect from a typical blog site. It is more than likely that instead of finding a date it will say that it was posted mere hours ago however, you do get told how many like-minded people have clicked and shared it.
As you can see from the quick screenshot, the page is bright and engaging. It has all of the social media link buttons easily accessible at the top of the page (no more fumbling around trying to figure out how you're going to share that cool article with you friends).
I am decidedly a new fan of Mashable and will for sure be setting up my RSS feed so that I can make sure to keep up with all of the interesting stories that come out through this blog site....definitely a time suck but...it was on the list so it's all good! In case you were wondering how to add that RSS feed here is a quick video to show you step by step :)
Hi Shereeta. When you said you were put off by Mashable at first, I feel that way about a lot of things. I checked it out and you're right about the navigation, it's not like Facebook or Tumblr. You don't have to continuously scroll the way you do on those sites, you're surrounded by stories. I might turn in it into one of my frequent pages.
ReplyDeleteHello Shereeta. I have also checked out Mashable and found it to be very interesting. I wrote about it in my blog Hawktalk. I like that it is a social media blog which we are all a fan of. As far as you blog, I like the background. I am jealous lol. Thank you for the video about the RSS feed as I did not know how to do that.
