The first blog included a long list of sources used to develop the handout formatted blog. The list of references helps the writers credibility a lot. If I would have just read the blog, which went into a considerable amount of explaining and details, and then got to the end and realized there were no references, I would have wondered if the writer just made up the information.
The second blog doesn’t use any sources throughout. There is one reference to a person named “Cody” in the beginning of the blog, but the writer doesn’t explain who Cody is or if he is a reliable source or not. There were no citations of any kind in the third blog.
