I believe thatthis blog isbetter than the former.This is because it’s more aestheticto look at, more condensed
and easierto navigate through. There is no informationin thisblog which couldbe consideredas unneededor
irrelevant.There is a solidbalance betweenresearchand planning,as well as the actual production. However,
there is a lack of distinctsections,with some work from differentareasoverlapping.This iswhere the former blog
has success.
