A previous youth leader of mine, Emily, along with her
husband and two children moved to Haiti this past August. Emily has a blog that
she posts on pretty regularly, to let all of her friends and family back in New
Jersey know what is going on. Emily's youngest child, Haylie, decided to start
blogging just about a month ago. Although she has only posted twice, I feel
that they are great blogs for a girl her age.
The first thing you see when you navigate to Haylie’s
blog is the theme. It is orange with pink and yellow swirls, making you think
of a young girl. One of my favorite things about Haylie’s blog is the amount of
pictures. They really help me see how much she truly loves being in Haiti. Although
her blogs are extremely descriptive and paint pictures in my mind, the actual
pictures are great conformation.
Haylie has one extreme downside to her blogging life,
and I think it is her age. Although she loves to write, and a lot of people really
enjoy reading what she has to say, she doesn’t have much experience. When it comes
to organization in her blog posts, there pretty much isn’t any. She’ll talk
about something, post a picture, and then change subject. I understand that she
doesn’t have much time and wants to just let everyone back home know how she’s
doing, she is a bit sporadic in topics, and gets distracting.
Sadly, since her and her family are missionaries in
Haiti, they don’t have much time, or internet service. Haylie has had her blog
for about a month, and has posted twice. However, she remains faithful and
keeps everyone up to date with things going on in her life.
