Uncovering a Pot of Basil is a blog that focus’ on the romantic poet, John Keats. The authors of the blog consist of four lovely ladies that go by Eileen Ly, Jenica Medrano, Kyla Ponsness and Graceland Reed. To access and learn more about John Keats and his poems, the following link has been provided. Click me!!
When you first take a glimpse of the website and scroll around, there are pictures and videos that catch your eye thanks to Eileen Ly’s posts. The main colors of the blog make everything on the page easy to read and flow together. The blog is nicely put together because along with each post, there's a visual to look at instead of just focusing on reading. The videos on the page make the whole blog even more interesting. It gives your eyes a rest from having to read and just listen to what other people have to say about the poems. Another thing that makes the page better is that the posts are focusing on one main poem instead of jumping between different poems. It gives the reader a better idea and understanding of what the poem is about. For example the post “A Strange Short Film” shows a new take on John Keats’ poem “Isabella.” In the film there are additional scenes added that wasn’t originally in the poem. No man should ever wear a gas mask and have his nails painted black. I found the new scenes disgusting and strange.

On another note, if you don't know much about John Keats' life story then there is a biography written by Jenica Medrano on the site as well. While going through the different blogs that was posted, it never got boring because of the fascinating information there was to read. I really like how on each post its not all crammed together into one paragraph, but instead sectioned into smaller paragraphs. From all of the blogs that I’ve seen so far, the blog I mention would have to be by far my favorite. The whole blog site is neat, easy to read and easily navigable. If you only have time to look at a few blogs, I would definitely recommend taking a look around Uncovering a Pot of Basil.
