Student Athlete is primarily a sports and technology blog of a student athlete.

What’s most interesting about this blog is how the blogger has evolved over the years. He has started blogging on and off as early as 2003. His earlier entries were written as though it was an open diary- true of a personal space in the internet and the concept of blogging then.

As blogging grew to be more than a personal online diary, so has this student athlete. His blog now ventures in making money online (MMO), talks about technology, gadgets and his love for sports. The layout is nice and clean with various posts presented to you in one glance.

Another unique quality of the blog is showcasing student athletes from all over the Philippines by way of a written interview and open submissions.

We wish there had been a photo or two on articles that needed it, like writing about a latest product or profiling an athlete or featuring a new site or technology. Having no visual in a post is all right in very few cases but it is almost a prerequisite in blogging especially if you have a web theme in a semi-magazine format.

We also feel that some of the articles are just way too short. Perhaps the blogger might expand more in its writings. May we also suggest the use of tags or label cloud and here’s why.

Student Athlete blog shows the blogger’s open personality and we like that! He has an About page that really shares things about him and everything else is transparent and honest. A Services page offering his services in various areas both technical and in sports with very clear fees and conditions; the same goes for his Advertising and MMO pages.

There’s one lingering thought after we left the site, we’re curious to know what the author will name his blog when he’s no longer a student!

Then again by grabbing a URL with your name on it, you can change from one title to another easy! Very smart domain name choice indeed.

Good luck, Galwin!
