I keep getting sent diet stuff to review. It’s frustrating, but hey. It’s better than no work at all, right? Poo.

Another site I’m looking at today is top diet pills. To be really honest, it’s nothing special.

The red and gray motif is bland to me. Maybe I’m too used to vibrantly awesome colors of the web 2.0 (we’re still using that term, right?). The favicon feels out of place, and generic. A torch? What does that have to do with pills? Maybe burning of the fat? I dunno.

I like the hover effect over the menus, though. That’s a nice touch. And look, they have a blog! Let’s take a look.

Well, it’s not so much a blog as it is a list of what you should and shouldn’t do with diet pills. I don’t like that the “Top rated” pills list is on every page, regardless of being out of place or not.

But all my complaints are rather picky. And I suppose it helps in searches to have that information on each page. Think of the page rank, the page rank! Over all, not a terrible website. Though I would like to see a better favicon in the future, and a brighter design as well.

I was shown this website, diet pill reviews.And I’d like to take a moment to review the website, tell you what I think from a female blogger perspective. Not that my perspective is of any interest or much value at all, but I’ll be giving it a go.

On first inspection, the design of the website is quick to load. It’s clean and simple. On one hand, the clean and simple look is great. You’d want people to get straight to the point with the information you’re providing, and have it presented in a way that’s easy to read. On the other hand, you could turn that around and say they didn’t put much effort into the design.  And it looks like they just put up a free template from some website. But eh.

At least it’s easy to read. I’ve seen much worse designs that look like they belong in 1995. So, thumbs up.

As for the content? I actually really enjoy some of the reviews. They seem to be honest, and not constantly promoting every pill that’s listed on the website. On the main page, if you scroll down some, you’ll see the huge list of pills they’ve reviewed. For example, I was taking a look at the Acai Balance. I was really impressed that they even mentioned the sneaky $60 charge. The people that write these reviews seem to be actual people. And they’re not trying to push products.

We honestly need more websites like these. I wish they would have a disclaimer, though. Something against the overuse or unintended usage of any dietary pills could cause harm. Other than that, I’m pretty pleased with the website.

Would I buy anything off there? Pfft, no. But it’s nice to know that the website exists.

Well, now that I’ve started off with a really misleading title, let’s begin.

My cousin Elizabeth is recently going to be graduating high school and she’s been looking around for universities. There was one in particular she wanted me to look over (being the “Big sister” of the family, I’d say my views are pretty important! … ha). She wanted me to take a look at an online university. My initial instinct of course was that online universities aren’t usually any good. And you’re better off studying at a local campus.

But seeing as how I’m not attending any online universities, I’ll at least take a gander at the website and let you guys know what I think of the site. We’re taking a look at Western Governors University’s website, and their online degree programs. Let’s dive right in!

Okay. At the website, the first thing that jumps out at me is the slogan. Learn More. Become More. Online. Not too bad. I’ve seen much worse slogans. Good job! Underneath, what gives me a good feeling is that they are NCATE and CCNE accredited. This is hugely important. Just posting this makes me feel a lot more secure about what they’re offering. If you don’t know, accreditation basically means that they are acknowledged and given licenses to partake in providing education for people. In other words, they’re not bums off the street cheating you out of money.

Moving on to the main event, the courses and degrees they offer. Looking at their Programs page, it’s pretty impressive. They separate the programs into sections: For Teachers, Businesses, Information Technology and Health. Their range of degrees is pretty nice, too. They offer from licenses to post baccalaureate, even masters degrees.

With that said, the offerings aren’t all that bad! Pretty impressive. But I would always be very careful before jumping into something like this. The school is accredited, and there are no red flags or alarms. But some people just study better at a campus.

I will however give them a positive thumbs up for being accredited, and having a very detailed but simple website to get into.
