In my experience, websites have a personal taste which draws me. I have found my interest in writing and journalism from this format. My preferences reflect those areas as a whole.
One of my favorite forms of writing is the fan fiction: fan-written work which reflects and glorifies a specific show, book, or video-game based on the author's idea of a plotline. Fanfiction.net is the forefront to this genre of writing, which interests me since it provides an inspiration when I read the right authors. It also adds a great amount of enjoyment, as I see my favorite characters in new, interesting moments in my imagination. (Fanfiction.Net)
The internet and programs regarding flash animation are new forms of entertainment which are exclusive only to the web. by stringing together images in a developed manner, the artist runs any of them in sequence to achieve the desired effect. Newgrounds is the premier site for the flash community, housing several beginner as well as expert creations for the audience to see. Although the majority are animations expressing humor, the occasional interactive game or a well-created short is released which are incredibly well accepted. (Newgrounds)
Being a game reviewer for the school paper, I have to review several sources for information on the recent news of the field, as well as the recent reactions to games by other players. Although millions of sites exist which do that function, very few offer detailed coverage. The two I use the most are IGN and Gamespot; not only do both these sites provide insight into the games people play, but information on the gaming industry in general, something which is integral to my interests as a gamer.

Hey Matt,
The main thing I have to say is that I think you use sentence structure and word choices that make the sentences sound more complicated than they need to sound. Instead of saying, "In my experience, websites have a personal taste which draws me. I have found my interest in writing and journalism from this format," maybe try, "I have found my interest in writing and journalism from the personal tastes that websites have."
Also, when you're putting a link into the blog, maybe you could try using the link to name the website that you are talking about, instead of talking about the site and then placing the link at the end of the paragraph. For example, when you write, "Fanfiction.net is the forefront..." try putting the FanFiction link where you typed the website so that the reader can click right onto it to take her to the site, instead of having to find it at the end of the paragraph.
One last thing: watch your capitalization! Nice job!
