TheUniversityBlog

I don't know how many of my readers out there are really students, but hopefully enough of that demographic finds this post and says, "Wow, that was really helpful," because that is certainly what came to my mind when I came upon this gem.

On Monday, I blogged about the Blog University; today, I blog about TheUniversityBlog. As the name implies, TheUniversityBlog focuses on university and college. This blog's intention is to provide helpful information on a wide range of academia-related subjects, from "employability" to the secrets of success.

In the words of the blog's writer, Martin, "[if] I can find an angle on the academic, I’m interested. I’ve been embracing academia since 1997 when I wasn’t even yet a student." It's quite apparent that Martin knows what he's talkin' about, and that he quite enjoys it.

Perhaps it's time you got schooled at TheUniversityBlog?

BlogU

With the advent of simple blogging, available to people of all walks of life and styles, the number of personal blogs has soared to incredible proportions. A reader can find just about anything they want, from excellent culinary choices in the city of their desire, to how to play the latest and greatest games with ease. Everybody can, and does, blog.

What makes my blog stick out, though? This is the question all half-decent blog writers should (and most likely will) inevitably encounter. It's important to consider whether or not your blog will actually draw readers, or simply collect cyber dust.

If this is your dilemma, then Annie is here to save the day. She's the writer for the immensely popular "BlogU," which is a crash course in good blog design. BlogU (a clever name devised to mean "Blog University") features a minimalist, but exceedingly elegant, design that reflects the author's ability to cleanly and professionally construct strong blogs.
