Critique of Mavericks Pharmacy Blog
December 4th, 2009
Medical + Bliss is about everything under the umbrella term of medicine. The site covers medical equipment, medical insurance, medical jobs, pharmacy, and other such topics. Although the home page does not have a paragraph dedicated to explaining what the blog is all about, the theme of the blog says it all. The site aims to be a source of useful info for medical students and medical professionals alike.
Strong points
The choice of theme for this blog is excellent. The image of pills and tablets clearly states that the site is dedicated to medical concerns. This is a good point, since some readers would not really take the time to read an entry or two just to know what the site is all about. I really like the design of the blog. It is simple, but at the same time attractive. It is also very professional-looking. The category option is also a plus point, although I think that the categories are very specific. Content-wise, the entries are a good read. They’re also very informative.
Weak points
As I mentioned, the category is a plus point, but I guess it should not be very specific. It’s good to have various categories but the categories should be distinct from each other. In this site, however, there are some categories that could still be grouped into one. Instead of grouping the entries in pharmacy technicians and pharmacy jobs separately, why not put them under the category of “pharmacy jobs” or “pharmacy career”? After all, the entries are closely related. There are also problems with the design. In the medical machine donation entry, for example, the post title overwrites a text. This is a minor problem to some, but it could affect the credibility of the blog. A site for medicine-related concerns should have no room for errors.
