Heather 24/7 doesn’t exactly break a whole lot of ground in the blogging world. Her template (Dots Dark) is one of the tried and trusted pre-fabricated layouts provided by blogger. Her sidebar is covered with pictures of her friends (since simple text links were obviously not enough), as well as a catalogue of her quizilla quiz results. Nonetheless, the blog of this freshman at Baylor college manages to keep its readers interested enough to keep clicking, if only for the bizarre voyeuristic pleasure of it all.
Heather McLeod demonstrates the wonders of keeping journal entries short, and serving up a generous helping of pictures. With the rapidly increasing number of blogs on the internet, keeping entries concise is key to maintaining the attention of one’s readers. Thus, while Heather might not exactly be one of the best writers to grace the planet, her editorial discretion is commendable. Furthermore, while she might not be stunningly attractive, Heather is, at least, not camera shy. The judicious use of a picture or two every entry or so helps the readers get a feel for who they’re reading about, giving them a reason to keep reading.
While Heather doesn’t really offer very much original material to the blogging world, her tales of sorority life, her pictures of her friends, and her meditations on how she resembles (or doesn’t resemble) certain characters on the OC are, at the very least, bearable. Occasionally, some of her raves even seem amusing. Given the number of sorority girl blogs on the internet, Heather 24/7 isn’t exactly outstanding. But then again, it isn’t exactly horrible, either.heather 24/7
