*Salam everyone,
Laila here and I’m starting my blog with a review post about another blog (so original!!), but we have to start somewhere right ?, anyways enjoy reading this😁.
*(Salam = peace in Arabic, used for greeting).
Blog reviewed: FreeTech4learners.com
(1) Organization and layout:
when I first looked at the blog, the first word that came up to my mind was “jammed”. I couldn’t understand the layout until I read the information slowly. Honestly, this would have been the time where I would left the blog because it was overwhelming. Things like the title, archive, and even dates were not clear and too small, which made it difficult to find them.
(2) Content and features:
2.1 The content is mostly educational, ranging from tools to tips that can help teachers or learners. I also found that there is a lot of self-promotion content about the blogger himself in different parts of the blog. For example, in the first page you would see his book, then when navigating you can also find contact information, or ways to invite him. In general, finding the educational content was difficult compared to information about him.
Self-promotion content:
2.2 For features, he provides many links to different sources he mentions in a blog like YouTube, or articles, and they would take me immediately to the original source which is a bonus. He also has different links to his socials, and buttons to help share his content on different social platforms. An important thing he has is an archives button and tags which helps you find different topics he wrote about.
Archive section:
(3) Ease of use and navigation:
3.1 Although the information was jammed in one spot, navigating through them was somehow easy. It was also easy to click on links he mentions, as they were there and I didn’t have to go through different links to reach them. He also had the links in blue which made it easy for the eye to spot.
Links in blue:
3.2 One drawback on this part is that a lot of information was hidden, for example, the titles of the topic in the archive. This means that instead of having variety of information presented In front of you, you would have to guess the topics he wrote about, then look for them.
