My New Blog for School

Okay, here I go, shamelessly turning to advertisement. This is the link to my new blog for school. I really need to change that picture up at the top to something more topic-appropriate, but my first post and my "About" page are both up already.

Do I sound like the same person in that blog and this?

This blog is totally laid-back. While I try to keep an eye on grammar and stuff, my overall tone is just isn't an attempt to be professional.

The blog for class, however, is more like I'm taking a reporter's stance. It's my job to convey the facts of my topic. However, since it's a blog and not a newspaper, I'm allowed to have an opinion, as long as it's an "informed opinion."

I'm expected to meet a certain number of views by the end of the semester; that's why I'm sharing the link like this.

Should I just trust in my blog to attract viewers on its own?

Maybe. But I really don't want to find out what will happen if I don't meet the minimum view requirement at the end, even though that's something I don't think we're being graded on.

I'm treading very lightly here, making every attempt to make a good grade. This is college. No longer high school. If I want good grades, I have to pull out every (honorable) hat trick I've got. You understand, yes?
