This is the blog I chose as my "good" writer's site. The author is Heather Lauer and the book is published by Harper's Collins, titled: Bacon, A Love Story: A Salty Survey of Everybody's Favorite Meat. Which is true, it is everybody's favorite meat. No arguments allowed.
Other than being obsessed with bacon, I thought the page was well designed. Lauer also has a blog on her site which pretty much covers everything bacon. She talks about contests, International Bacon Day (September 4th, I just missed it!) and posts a bunch of creative bacon photos.
Check it out, or don't and just go make a BLT.

Great, now I want bacon for breakfast and don't have any!
ReplyDeleteIn any case, I really like this page. The pictures are fantastic and mouth-watering. The little Twitter bird with a piece of bacon...that's a great touch. The site is compact enough that you don't have to scroll on the first page, the colors mix well, the self-advertising is clear but minimal, and the blog itself is clearly marked, easy to navigate, and has a search feature, which is great.
Do you think this woman will cater my next birthday party?
I'm going to eat some breakfast now. At least I have eggs...
Eli-- Her Youtube videos are pretty great too. How hard is it to add videos to our blogs? Bacon sizzling needs to be on everyone's page and an acoustic song wouldn't either.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I agree Collins' site is pretty good and most importantly for me easy to navigate.
Let me know how the bacon book is.
Why is it we love bacon? The French Laundry (Google it) staff have a saying, "Be the bacon." YES.
ReplyDeleteAnd why do I enjoy looking at pictures of bacon?
You can add YouTube videos to your blog, Mike. You have to go to HTML mode, but it's really easy to add because YouTube gives you the embed code.
ReplyDeleteThe webpage actually looks like an advertiser for a pig farm selling their bacon. It's cleaver, bright, attention-getting, and overall delicious.
