Atlanta Metblogs

I was searching through some of the blogs linked from Dr. Hoefer's blog and decided to check out Atlanta Metblogs to see what it had to offer.

The purpose of the blog is to inform its readers about anything and everything that is happening in Atlanta, be it politics, sports, local events, or just places of interest. The design is rather simple and easy to follow, with postings on the left hand side and links to a photo gallery, recent comments, author pages, blog categories, and twitter updates.

The most recent blogs include all of the main topics the blog focuses on.
The first being a posting about the Atlanta Hawks and how good they are doing this season and encourages its readers to go cheer them on at their next game this Wednesday. This posting has a basic style, only using hyperlinks to other sites without any pictures, but the style of the author's writing makes it easy to read without having pictures to look at.
The second posting uses pictures, hyperlinks to sites and other blogs, and humor to promote the latest exhibit at the Georgia Aquarium, "Planet Shark."
The next posting was rather short, but to the point; it was about the Mattress Factory studio tour with links to photo galleries and another blog and a picture in the posting showcasing a couple of paintings.
I could relate to the next posting as the author was asking for help from readers to blog once a week to update their site. I guess even bigtime bloggers have trouble keeping a weekly blog...
The rest of the postings included topics of the recent mayoral race and its turnout, concerts, and restaurants.

The style of writing and the content of these postings made this blog interesting to read and to see all the happenings going around in Atlanta. From sports to sharks to art, this blog uses well-written postings, hyperlinks and pictures to get information to the public about all things Atlanta.
