When using the technorati blog search, I was able to find a blog that was related to my informative paper: juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. I found a blog discussing ways on how to cope with arthritis. The main character of the blog is a cook and she discusses ways on how to maintain being a cook with painful arthritis. The blog’s author is Leslie Goldman and her blog is found on the Huffington Post. The Huffington Post is about five years old and Leslie Goldman posts about one blog every two weeks on average. She utilizes many hyperlinks and they are most often linked to websites. In this specific blog relating to arthritis, Leslie Goldman does not utilize any other media besides text and hyperlinks, although in other posts I have seen her use pictures. Her post has a much more relaxed tone than that of the blog that is specifically related to my informative paper. 
The next blog I found off of technorati is specifically related to my paragraph in my paper about DMARD drugs. The author of this particular blog is Wiley-Blackwell, an international scientific publishing business of John Wiley and Sons. The blog can be found on Eureka Alert Blog. The blog post was published to the public on September 28, 2010. Usually blogs are characterized by laid back phrasing and structure that would very much differ from a research paper. However, since this blog was published by a scientific publishing business, the blog’s format is much like a research paper. The tone and style does not differ from my informative paper as it discusses research of using a DMARD and a biologic together to create a successful remission state for a rheumatoid arthritis patient. Both blogs were successful in discussing aspects of arthritis.
