As the title suggests, College Online Guide is a site that aims to provide useful information for college students. The blog provides tips, opinions, and news about topics related to college. These include relevant and highly useful info on college life, sports, college loans, and updates on the education system.
The blog’s strong points
The choice for the title is good. The readers would have an idea what the site is all about with those three short words. One glance at the title and the readers would get an idea what to expect from the site. There is also a section for videos and news on the site. I really like this one, and I guess the audience find this part interesting as well. Another thing I like about it is its user-friendly interface. Although the options are not that many, I give the blog credit for the visibility and clarity of the options. One wouldn’t find it difficult to explore the site.
The areas that need to be improved
The site is professional-looking with its blue-grey and orange combination. But it isn’t very attractive. The design is a bit boring. Another area that needs improvement is the content. Some entries have problems with clarity. Some sentences are not constructed well that their meaning becomes a bit obscure. Typo errors also affect the clarity of the entries. In the article Tips for getting Through a Medical School Interview, for instance, the first sentence is not clear. I also find the sentences very long. I think writers for this blog have to invest on brevity. Remember that content is what every blog is all about. The blog’s credibility as a site dedicated to college issues rest upon the content. So people behind this blog really have to work on improving the structure of the articles. The writers also have to be careful in their choice of words.
