Blog Analysis
The blog I chose to analyze was titled NAU Mitch. From the title, it tells us his name and that he is a student at NAU. The title could also mean that he really likes the school that he is attending or that he is an active participater at his school, like that he is in a club. The color of the profile is fairly simple, but it could also mean that the author likes the color black. Also there is some blue and yellow in the profile, which are NAU's school colors, which could also mean that he's representing his school in his profile. From the author's posts, it shows that he has a sense of humor and that he is looking forward to using a blog. In a post for a blogging assignment, he gets right to the point about what the reading was about, so it could also indicate that he is a straight forward person, who gets right to the point of the issue.

Good job dissecting the meaning of the colors. You noticed that he chose NAU colors and infered that he either goes to NAU or is just really gung-ho about his school. If you were an audience member outside of our class, indeed outside of the NAU community, would you know that he had included the school colors in his blog? Maybe, maybe not. It shows how the context is important in order for the audience to "get it". Write things that don't fit the context or audience and you (the general you), the author, could be left totally misunderstood, right?
