A blog should be a creative representation of one’s beliefs, interests, or postings of current events. After all, let’s not forget the boring websites that many of us have accidentally visited at least once in our lifetimes. You know the one—the website that has a dull layout, typos galore, and nothing interesting to say. While it is true the 1990s was an age of internet publishing, and many “code jockeys” created elaborate websites that were aesthetically pleasing, the beautiful website layout will not keep the readers coming back for more. Substance is the key. Click here for a bad blog.
While, the author has a lot to say, it seems that the blog entries are very long and do not focus on one specific topic. Instead, the entries seem insightful, but ramble. Also, the blog is not personable; it reads as a newspaper article or awkward book review. Think about it: blogs can be very important. Especially in the medical field, a blog can present an otherwise “foreign concept” as something that is relatable in layman’s terms. Honestly, most medical related websites are difficult to read. Shouldn’t medical websites target people who need to be educated about the medical topics—not just people who are already science buffs who understand the lingo in the average science journal? This is where the blog can be effective. Using an effective, personable blog to convey medical subjects would serve as an excellent educational source for the average person.
