My Top 3 Favourite Blogs...



Anna Towan:

Many students in this course will agree that one of the definite standouts for this term is Anna Towan’s blog for Ryanair. If you haven’t already visited her page, I would definitely encourage you to: http://annatowanacct11059.blogspot.com.au/

It is evident that Anna has done some substantial investigating on her company Ryanair. She has included in-depth background information on her company, as well as including, key challenges and risks associated with the airline industry and her firm.  Facts and figures, and business articles about Ryanair have also been included on her blog; this information was helpful for achieving a better understanding of her company. The information found on Anna’s blog also helped me to establish what information I should be looking for with my company.

Furthermore, I found Anna’s blog entertaining and friendly. She incorporates little anecdotes about juggling studying and her family life and how learning accounting is like skydiving. She also includes fun facts that make reading her blog fun. The listed seven most ridiculous cost-saving ventures of Ryanair had me in stitches. I also think it is lovely that Anna took the time to thank everyone who has commented on her blog and who were using her as one of their top three favourite blogs.

Megan McCormick:

My second choice was Megan McCormick’s blog for her company, Amcom. The overall layout of Megan’s blog is fantastic. She has established a separate page for each topic she addresses about her company and the assignment. This makes the blog very easy to navigate and the information presented is clear and concise.

Moreover, the blog contains vital background information on Amcom, which makes it easy to understand what the company does.  Megan also includes useful links to the company’s website and annual reports. These links makes it easier to verify the similarities and differences between Amcom’s financial statements and my own company’s financial statements. In addition to this, Megan has also presented her own key concepts and questions for her company; this information allows other students to get a better understanding of Amcom, and also provides an example of what we should be presenting and questioning about our own company and their financial statements.

Ben Patchett:

My final top three favourite blog goes to Ben Patchett and his blog for Asciano. The layout for this blog is well organised and simple to follow. The blog posts are well labeled, which makes it easier to locate information about his company.

What is more, Ben has included simplified and helpful background information about his company and its industry. He uses bullet points to summarise the most crucial aspects of the firm. Another feature I like that Ben has included, is the recent news articles about Asciano. This helps to establish the current achievements and dilemmas faced by the company. 

However, one of my favourite features of Ben’s blog is the comment page. This allows for easy access of comments from both Ben and other students who have left comments on his page. This is definitely a feature I would like to incorporate on my page.

 
Thanks everyone for the great blogs! :)
