Reading Responce 10/28/2010

Our group's topic is Oral Health in West Virginia and our audiences are the parents and children of the state of West Virginia. The first model for our blog that I found to interesting was a blog called Dr.Bicuspid.com . This website has up to date news about dental care. The taps at the top include a variety of things like education, videos, opinions, forums, and others. The reason that I think this model is helpful because it is like a much larger scale version of what we trying to do which is educate. The variety of options at the site allows readers to find what they need easily. When you put the mouse over the tab a drop down of other subtopics. The site is very user friendly which I think is important when setting up a site for education.

The second website model is a blog by a dentist called Ask Dr.Spindel. This is a different look on how to present information. Unlike the previous model this is a blogspot blog. It will look most similar to the blog we will be creating therefore making it a great reference to how our website will look. The dentist who set this up made it very basic. He answers questions that curious people ask about dentist or dentistry in general. This aspect could be used in a part of our website but as the main theme. I still believe that a news setup for our main page would suit our topic and audience best.
