Title of project
Zach O'Neill: An Outdoor ObsessionExecutive description
Content on my blog will be outdoor related material created by linking to other blogs, using personal experience, linking to related websites, and building from content I feel is appropriate. I intend create this blog to be a place for useful information, events, and happening in the outdoor world by combining all the aspects the outdoors have to offer.Narrative
I will create content that is both useful and entertaining for readers. My hope is that this blog will be interesting and intriguing enough that readers outside of this class will regularly visit. The outdoor world is a big part of where we live, this combined with my passion, is the reason I will be using this subject.- I will use the Minnesota DNR (Department of Natural Resources) regularly in my postings. This website is a great tool for gaining knowledge in various aspects of everything outdoors. I will use this website to help post important dates, news, and stories from Minnesota.
- I will be linking to various videos on youtube and websites like it. I have a series of six clips, each ten minutes in length, picked out to incorporate on the blog.
- I will also be linking to magazine publications such as, North American Hunting Magazine, Field & Stream, and publications alike.
For my blogroll these are the known sites I will be linking to: Minnesota Deer Hunters, Pope & Young Club, Boone & Crockett Club, North American Hunter Magazine, and Cabelas.
There are many websites and blogs with similar material on the WWW. I will attempt to pull content together from these various sources, to get a broad view of everything outdoors. I will be writing on everything from camping, hunting, fishing, trapping, and so on.
I feel a big part of the outdoors is the visual aspect. I will use pictures and videos in an attempt to help viewers gain a sense of the experience. I plan on linking videos on a few of my posts rather than putting them directly on my blog. Although I want to add a decent amount of visual content, I also don't want my blog to be slow while loading. I will try to keep a good balance between enough visual stimulation to keep the viewers interested, and writing to contribute thoughts on the subjects.
