Having ones blog evaluated by someone else is not exactly the most desired thing! Not knowing what they may say or write. How critical they’re going to be of the post and so on. Well as a journalist student, we should be open with our ideas and thoughts and be able to write what we think without double thinking, ‘am I being too harsh or too kind?’, ‘am I right in saying this?’ and so on.
I decided to review a blog called RuScandalous. To which I will hopefully be both fair and critical in my review.
To start with, the name ‘RuScandalous’ is very fitting in the overall idea of the blog. The blogs idea is to report and write about all the goings on in the lives of the students at Rhodes University!
The idea is to publish all the gossip that’s so rife amongst the students, which again aims at a certain target audience, the students. Aiming their writing to a certain audience does however have it negative and positive effects. The negative one may be that the audience may not be large thus their posts are read only by few but the positive side of it may be that the information produced and posted will be read by students; as it will be in their interest zone!
The layout of the blog is very simple and easy to use which is a great aspect as not a lot of people are fond of complex sites. The colour usage is plain which is kind on the eye and the background of the site is also cleverly chosen. The overall writing posted on the site is very catchy and draws the read into their world.
