Music Blogs / Online Music Mags to Check Out

As I have told a lot of you this week, to plan and make pages for a fictional music magazine and present your own photos, you need a convincing knowledge of the genre and what music is out there in your preferred genre. You need to do research to ensure quality in that area.

If like me, you like reading blogs, to make it easier to keep up with them all, there are some tools to make it easier.

• You can follow them on Twitter and their latest news will show up on a newsfeed. You can follow Twitter using an app on your phone and ipad. You can 're-tweet' or 'RT' to share with friends.
• You can go to BlogLovin - http://www.bloglovin.com/ - open an account and it will put it all in a newsfeed for you. I have managed to put a tab linked to it on the browser of my laptop so I can go straight to it. I have added a 'Blog lovin button' to my blog so others can follow mine, perhaps you could too!

Like this:

• You can obviously bookmark them on your computer / ipad.
• You can sign up to get email updates if possible.\

Please 'keep tabs' on the blogs below, depending on your preferred music.
