Student Bloggers is a blog that has the main objective of building connections between blogs, bloggers, and blog readers. The blogger behind this site is a college student; his target audience includes college students and bloggers. Some of the typical types of blog posts that you will find on Student Bloggers are student stories and featured blogs of the day.
A rather unique perspective
The best thing that Student Blogges has is its unique perspective. Yes, there are numerous other sites out there that seek to link blogs together, but what makes Student Bloggers unique is that it takes an unbiased approach to its aim. Other sites with a similar concept normally link together blogs from a single college or university, or link together blogs about prestigious universities. Student Bloggers, on the other hand, links together practically any student blog, as long as it conforms with the three rules posted on the blog’s “About” page.
Room for improvement
Although Student Bloggers has a good concept, the execution of this concept can be improved. First, the web design and layout needs a revamp. The site looks like a typical blog, with no personality to catch the attention and interest of the visitors. Furthermore, the website lacks color. Although some of the blogs have pictures, the blog site itself doesn’t have much decoration. The layout should also be improved for more convenient navigation and to make it easier on the eyes. Looking through webpages can be a pain on the eyes–both literally and figuratively — and when you have a cluttered layout it only makes it harder for your visitors. Finally, I suggest that Student Blogger increases the number of articles on its page. Most of the blog posts are just “featured blogs of the day,” but there isn’t much original content being produced by the Student Blogger authors.
