BLOG REVIEWS - #1 to #6


She describes her blog as random ramblings; which is a fairly accurate way to describe it!

Good points – lots of decent quality photos.

Points to ponder (1) – why does she centre all the text?

Points to ponder (2) – she doesn’t post that often because at the moment she is in Germany on a work placement.
 

Prognosis – This blog might struggle to attract readers with so many other blogs being launched: especially as it doesn’t (yet) have a unique selling point.


 
 
She describes her blog as one for sharing her thoughts with the world.

Good points – at the moment she seems to be posting little but often.

Points to ponder (1) – None

 
Prognosis – This blog might struggle to attract readers with so many other blogs being launched: especially as it doesn’t (yet) have a unique selling point.

 


He describes his blog as being solely travel related. True, it does exactly what it says on the tin.

Good points – Pleasing and well-polished writing style.

Points to ponder (1) – The images are very small and do not seem to expand when I click on them.

 
Prognosis – Will be appreciated by people who have travelled (or will be travelling) to the same destination. Others might find it rather dull?


 
Described as being for all things “student”. The horribly cluttered front page seems to concentrate on the commercial and leisure aspects rather than the academic.

Good points – Some amazing glacier and railway photos.

Points to ponder (1) - But I would have liked to know exactly what I was looking at. The what, where and when of each photo I suppose?

 
Prognosis – Will such an overtly commercial blog inspire, demotivate or annoy the typical student reader?

 
 

Clearly a well-established blog that has been around for 12 months+. The expansion away from just poetry offers more scope for picking up readers.

Good points – Lots of photos of things you don’t often see in photos!

Points to ponder (1) – Sometimes the chosen justification of the text looked ugly.


Prognosis – Certainly one to watch. Likely to be around for the long haul.

 


Very much a blog that you hope you never need to read since it explores how she dealt with parental bereavement.

Good points – The author writes clearly and well without getting over emotional.

Points to ponder (1) – Is the scope too narrow for a long term project?

 
Prognosis – The ultimate niche blog probably helping the writer as much as the reader?
