Blog Review - Ziggy's Blog

        One of the blogs that we recommend on our site is Ziggy’s Blog. It is a good blog that is available which contains good information to parents that are raising teenagers. The author of the blog is a single mom who has dealt with a variety of issues while raising her two daughters through their teenage years. She is also going to school to be a special education teacher. The overall layout of Ziggy’s Blog is well organized and I had a good first impression when I went to the blog. The information and blog postings are easy to find and the site as a whole is very easy to navigate. The purpose of her blog is to help parents of adolescents by talking about problems that are out there. She also does some book reviews and blogs about her life with her girls. The majority of the blogs on this site are serious and they deal with various issues that are available to teenagers, but she does add in humorous stories at times as well. The author also has blog posts from her personal situations that she has had to sort out herself.

This blog is recommended to all parents, not just parents dealing with a troubled teenager. There are many issues out there that parents are not aware of that their child has to face. It has not been that long since I was a teenager and I was unaware of some problems that teenagers are dealing with.  

I am always skeptical when I start reading blogs because I never know if they are going to come from a personal point of view or if the blog will contain correct information from research. When reading the blog postings from Ziggy’s blog I was pleased to see that majority of her posts were cited and that the information came from a good source.

I feel as though the information in Ziggy’s Blog is applicable. This blog is great for anyone who is dealing with a teenager or for someone who would just like more information about the issues that teenagers are facing today.

Overall the writing of the blog is great. Ziggy’s Blog is well written and the information is outlined well. When reading the blogs, it does not take long for the reader to enjoy them and to feel a connection to the author, especially when reading the “about me” section the author has provided.
