1. This blog focuses a lot on portion control, and how several restaurants are making their portions smaller without lowering the price of the dish. Also several restaurants to not may any attention to portion size and it gets larger and larger with no notice. The blog mentions this becoming a huge cost problem for the restaurant in a time when they're trying to cut costs.
2. This blog intends to serve restaurant owners and even chefs to help control portion cost and keep customers happy with what they are accustomed to. Customers do not like going into a restaurant one day and getting large portions, and coming back the next with half as much food on their plates.
3. This blog does meet its goal, it mentions techniques to use to help control portions, and also to help cost control with each portion and each dish on the menu.
4. This blog gives an image of the industry that restaurants are having difficulty's during this time, and they are trying to find ways to save money. By doing this they are changing what customers what and what they are used to which is large portions. This ultimately will hurt satisfaction ratings.

1. This particular blog has really good points when it comes to developing restaurant plants, and how to keep a restaurant open, or to open a restaurant.

2. This blog intends to serve those entering the restaurant career, and intend to open a restaurant. It is also helpful to those who may need some quick pointers and advise to keeping a business open.
3. This blog meets it goal very well. I have read some of the authors other blogs, and they are all easy to read and right to the point, as this one is.
4. There is no real image of the industry conveyed in this blog, it is more to simply help and inform those who want to begin their own business. If there were an image of the industry I would have to say that it would be that it's harder to open and have a successful restaurant then people may think. Because of this many people stay in the business too long and they get in more trouble then need be.
5. I do not believe this author has facebook or twitter, there is no mention of it on the blog website. He is however available to contact through email.

1. Hospitality industry .com covers all areas of hospitality industry. If you want to follow all of them, it is really hard for you to do so. But, they categorize them into each sector so that the readers follow them easily. When you are interested in only hotel area, you can read the articles related to hotel news.Lodging Hospitality has the archives; “Latest News”,” Latest Features”, “ Latest Opinion”, and “Top Reads”. It is easy to follow when you want to know which news is popular.
2. These blogs intend to serve people who want to know what is happening in whole hospitality industry. Since both of them give various information about this industry, it is good for people who want to work in this industry.
3. I think both of blogs that I am following meet their goal. Since this industry should be connected in world –wide view, both of them offer latest news of not only out of the states but also out of the countries. You can gain global knowledge of this industry.
4. In my opinion, Hospitality industry.com has much clearer image of archives than Lodging Hospitality blogs, because the former has categorized the sections simply while the latter has mixed some of their news.
5. Both of blogs have twitter accounts that allow the readers to get timely and simply news from them. Also, their twitter accounts help the bloggers too, because they do not have to inform the same event information by writing long blog right before the event starts. In addition, Lodging Hospitality has a Facebook account too.
6. Both of twitter accounts are exact same as their original blog entry. However, Lodging Industry’s facebook page allows the readers or people who “like” them to comment on their wall and share the information.
7. The authors in both blogs claim to know a lot of news of this whole industry. They convey to the readers not only fun events but also financial news of each category.
1. How does the blog convey the archives to an audience?
The six flags blog talks about up coming events like the most recent one, Fright Fest. it also talks about some other event happening that are unrelated to the halloween season. The second blog I am following is more along the lines of coupons, savings and special offers to consider when purchasing your Six Flags tickets.
2. Who does the blog intend to serve?
Both blogs intend to serve the theme park visitors. one of them specializing in the upcoming events at Six Flags and the other having to do with saving money when purchasing your tickets through the use of coupons. for example the Six Flags blog was promoting the upcoming Fright Fest event that they annually hold, and the second blog I am following is offering coupons for Fright Fest.
3. Does it meet its goal?
I believe both blogs meet their goals. The Six Flags blog does a great job of informing the theme park enthusiasts about upcoming events that are going on. I feel that the second blog also meets its goal by promoting coupons and other special offers that will help the theme park guest save some money.
4.What image of archives and archivists is conveyed by the blog?
The image of the Six Flag blog is a lot more colorful than the second blog. I think part of this is because the Six Flags blog is on the actual Six Flags website and they want to do a good job at drawing people to the park. well they certainly have done a good job at this. The blog is colorful and filled with Six Flags images. The second blog is very dull and boring. it seems that no one follows it and the posts are not as frequent as the Six Flags blog.
5. Does the blogger have a presence on Twitter or Facebook?
The Six Flags blog has a presence on both Twitter and Facebook. The second blog does not have a presence on either of them.
6. How is that similar or different?
This is similar because you can use both social networks to get the company out there and attract more guests.
7. What topics does the author claim knowledge of in the industry?
The author of the Six Flags blog knows what is going on at the multiple Six Flags around the country. He gives in depth details about the upcoming events and why people should attend. The second blog knows what savings, coupons and special offers people should be aware of.

They have more advertisements on the page about Disney.
2What does the blog intend to serve? The Disney blog intends to serve news to people about whats going on at Disney properties, and sometimes they talk about new movies being produced. Inside the magic does kind of the same thing, but they also talk about theme park events, news, and new things being developed.
3.Does it meet its goal? I would say they both meet their goals because future travelors can go online and research whats new at the parks, and what has been happening. Inside the Magic has so much to its blog, and you can find a lot about new attractions, and events.
4.What Image of archives and archivist is conveyed by the blog? For the Disney blog the image is plain but gets right to the point, and its very easy to read. occasionally there are pictures for certain blogs.

Does it meet its goals?
I think both of my blogs meet their goals; however the Brilliant Event Planning Blog meets their goals a bit more than the Direct Line Cruises Blog does. Direct Line Cruises does not supply the follower with direct information from the cruises but instead with descriptions of cruises from the passenger view, which is helpful, but not in all circumstances.
