My initial thought into this blog was simple; this blog is going to be about helping others. The blog has an initial thought at the very top and its theme is highlighted throughout the blog. “A public service weblog promoting ethics in action.†As I finished reading through the blog I found my initial thoughts to be correct.
The blog’s purpose is to give information to its readers about ways to help out in their community. It provides links and suggestions on many topics. Some of them include: What to do with that left over food after a group gathering or part, Consider class, Consider privacy… The list of helpful information goes on and on. Karama, the blog’s author, is very active in community service and her blog is just another part of her service. Karama informs the reader about things that she has been involved in to help others around the world and provides hyperlinks to those organizations.
The blog’s design is very simple. It has the main area of the site on the left column of the two column site. On the right is information typical to blogs: archives, links, about me… I would make a recommendation in this are. I would reorganize/clean up the right column. It appears to be unorganized and is distracting to the eyes of the reader.
I would recommend anyone to read this site. I am heavily involved in community service and understand the necessity of it. I feel the blog needs a little design work, but the content is sufficient and heavily informational to anyone interested in civil service. I rate this blog as a 3 due to some of the design concerns with the site. Overall it is a good read and it instigates its readers to help others.
