1. What is the name of the blog you reviewed? Please include an ACTIVE link to the blog here.

The name of the blog I reviewed was Ms. Stephanie's Classroom and the link is http://sbaxter4teach.blogspot.com/

2. Is the style of the writing in the blog you reviewed suited to the blogger’s intended audience? In other words, is the writing professional enough for a teaching blog? 

The bloggers writing style is extremely professional and targeted to her audience. She is very inviting and you can tell through her writing that she is passionate about what she's studying.

3. Are the colors/fonts appropriate? Are there things that are distracting about the blog that need to be changed (ie. Pictures/images too large or too small, hard-to-read font, distracting backgrounds, etc). Are Vokis in the right place (they should be only on the sidebar).

I love the overall template that the blogger uses. It syncs perfectly with her writing style and the education theme. It's not distracting at all, it's actually really inspiring. 

4. Is the spacing and layout easy to navigate? Are there “repeats” of posts? Does the flow and direction of the blog make sense?

The blog flows smoothly and there are no repeated posts. As I previously stated above, the layout/template fits perfectly with her theme. You can tell that she put a lot of effort into her blog.

5. Are correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar used? 

There is correct punctuation, spelling, and grammar used throughout the blog.

6. What is your overall impression of the blog?  (Include any suggestions you may have for improvement. If you have any questions or additional comments, please include them here).

My overall impression is that the blog is off to wonderful start. I truly don't have anything negative to say about this blog. The colors, the layout, the theme/template are wonderful and flow perfectly with a education blog. Great stuff!
