This was a great blog. It was very well organized with great stories that caught the reader with a hook. There was no clutter to the page; it was very neat and concise. I could find my way around easily with little to no trouble. The title fit their choice of author perfectly and the dark appearance made it look great, like you could curl up by a fire and just read. I didn’t see any errors and the stories fit well on the page. It helped me understand Coleridge better and his themes. I learned that he has many little symbols that mean huge things. If you weren’t looking you could easily pass symbols off as just a weird occurrence. He uses different and obscure ways of having symbols in his text, he almost hides them from us, as if it were a thing to search for and be found by the right people.
Their page had pictures and videos, which was a nice change, rather than just reading all text. The pictures and movies gave your eyes something new to look at and made you want to read more.
There was one particular article in there called White Night. It really made me think and look at everything, and see what was happening like a picture. It went as smoothly as a moving picture. It followed a certain flow, it was almost like rafting down a river, you are never sure what you will find at the bottom, but when you get there it was well worth the ride.
For someone who is just beginning to understand the concept of romanticism I would definitely recommend this blog, it has accurate information and just helps you with the things you might not have seen while reading. Like how Coleridge has the albatross hanging from the mariners neck. Some might have passed that by, either not wanting to understand or not realizing that the bird is a symbol. Others who might be starting the romanticism era understand what is happening, but are missing the little things. The symbols that are hidden and kept secret for someone to find.
