The blog mostly uses their own first hand stories, which has plus and minus points. On the positive, you can see the editorial style of the writers, but on the minus side, 'big' news is not covered.
It is constantly updated, the last article being posted only a couple of days ago, which is a good thing. The presentation is very clean, suitable for the internet. Most article lengths are also internet appropriate, however there are some that are too long.
Navigation around the blog is easy and simple, and the loading speed is rather fast. However, there is a lot of scrolling required, which might put off online readers. The blog is clearly youth-centric.
There is a good use of online features, especially in the area of social media. There is a facebook widget and a twitter prompt, and is strategically placed. However, the multimedia page has articles which are unrelated to multimedia. There should be just videos rather than the article with the video. Also, the comment box requires a lot of scrolling, which readers may miss.
It would be good if the 'About Us' section has the roles of the group, as it is currently empty. But the blog seems to be running well and would be easy to take over.
Overall, the blog is well presented, and has a good professional look. However, some features require tweaking to make it more suitable for online audiences.
