Resource Links Review

Here we review some of the websites that were included as part of our resource links. Our reviews won't deal with the technical issues of website design, but more of the general look, usability, and how useful the information it provides in connection to the merit badges it is being linked from as a resource link.

This will definitely (and totally) be my own opinion. But I do welcome to opinion of others regarding these websites, and I will gladly add them as part of our reviews.

In the course of the review, each website will be given Merit Badge Center logos (maximum of five) loosely based on the following criteria:

Content. The website information does not deviate from its intended purpose. Commercial nature of the website must be in check and not let the user's attention deviate from the actual content.

Currency. Refers to the timeliness and how updated the information are on the website.

Visual Design. Visual design that is appealing and appropriate, too much of a good thing isn't always a good thing.

Navigation and Structure. The manner information is structured and presented that makes it easy for users to find what they need.

Usability. The usefulness of the website's information in connection to the Merit Badges and requirements the information is intended for.
