What I liked most about Mr. Holtzman's blog is that nearly all of his postings included a colorful photo that went along with the post. This made the post more interesting, even drawing your eye to it to make you want to read. I also liked the fact that he had archived postings from clear back to October 2005. If you wanted to read more of his work, it was all right there, and easy to access. It also had several links to other agricultural websites.
What I didn't like about his blog is the design of the blog. Overall, it was kind of boring to look at. Very simple, yet it needed some pizzazz, I felt. Especially if he's really trying to draw hits to his blog, or if it's just for fun, it could still use some spicing up. Another thing I didn't like was that his postings were rather random. The most recent one was in September 2007. With the dynamic changes occurring almost daily in the ag industry, he could keep the blog more current with the latest information.
Overall, I thought it was a good blog with many acceptable qualities.

I like your thoughts on keeping a blog updated. I mean, if it's not recent, then why would anyone want to read it? Then it is more like a dated newspaper or magazine article, interesting then, but nothing relevant to today. Maybe we all should comment on his blog telling him to update it more often-just a thought for another blogging assignment! See ya tomorrow!
Good blog commentary, Sarah. I realize it's a little dicey making such comments in public. You are to be commended for giving it a try. Now that you know how to make a link, I'll bet next time you do it you will know how to put the link in along with the first reference to the site.
Keep up the good work.
