I looked at your blog and I like it a lot. Your posts are informative and humorous. I left a comment on the Jamie Lynn post. Personally, I never like black as the background because I find it harder to read usually. However, your print is a good contrast color so yours is easier to read than other black backgrounds. Cool blog dude!
Here is one of my blogs for you:
flugpo-blog.blogspot.com/
This is a blog that I run for a client. There are a couple of guest bloggers on there. Anything I posted will have the author name "Kelly". I am interested in your thoughts of the blog overall. Thanks!-
Kelly,
I'm not sure I really get it. Do you own Flugpo also? It's kind of weird to me to blog about the greatness of another blog. Maybe I'm just missing the picture here?

I market for them. I designed the blog as promo for the main site.

AP: Your blog: funny: i like. I like that you only show the first paragraph or so of the longer entries. I'm considering this too.
Check mine out: www.hotforjesusformerfundie.blogspot.com
just getting started... still in learning stages... satire and seriousness all thrown together. Not really looking for a critique as much as some friendly pointers. Capeesh?
Thanks-
Christine,
Holy Christ your blog is hilarious!! One of my older entries was titled "I think therefore I'm not Christian" but your entire blog threw me for a loop. I love it! I did comment on the goat find. It's a classic.

Great design. I love the wisps of smoke pattern on the dark color. Very striking. You write well, though I have to say yours was the umpteenth post about Britney Spears' sister. Please check out

At the moment I have a piece about adult treehouses up but will have a Christmas book feature later this afternoon.-
Brilliant idea! I love the cleanliness of the Mandingo theme that you've used. It is so unassuming, much the way most people see books these days. But after looking around, your site has definitely been bookmarked. I love to read and nothing feels or smells the same as a nicely worn in book. Absolutely lovely site.

Sure.

yarinh,
You have a lot of really great information on your page. The only issue I see with it is that the page is scalable. I'm looking on it from a 24 inch iMac and there is tons of whitespace between the actual articles on the left and the advertisements on the right is filled with tons of whitespace. Other than that design portion, you have some really great articles.

I like the clean interface that you have. My only question is, are you going to be blogging about several different games or just one. Your site isn't really clear on that. Since I don't play a lot of games, I often visit pages that rate/rank several games. The only thing about your page is, since I'm not a huge gamer, unless you specify which game(s) you're talking about, you could easily alienate a potential reader.
-
i see, i place the name of the game in the label but i see your point. I need to make it more clear. Thanks.

John, really enjoyed your blog. Well layed out and easy to read. I agree with libdrone...love the smokiness. You write well and I look forward to reading more. Hope you will check mine out too. I'm new to this whole thing...so go easy! My blog is broken into 5 pieces(so to speak)...entertainment, gifts, humor, political, and travel. Guess I'll send you to humor...you can navigate from there if you like. Or just go to my home blog...and you choose. Thanks

Patricia,
I absolutely love the navigation on your page. It's very easy to follow. The only thing I was looking for but couldn't find were the gorgeous photos that you wrote about on the home page. I would assume that you were some type of photographer, but the only photos I saw were on the slideshow. Is that what you were talking about? Other than that, I really like it. I think it's a good deal like mine. I love sites that don't stay within one niche and talk intelligently across several platforms. Very nice.

Kiwipulse,
I love the simple, easy navigation of your site. Some of the pictures you have there are amazing. It's so very enjoyable. I truly hope others stumble on your site and take their time reading it. I was on there for about 45 minutes before I realized it. That's the highest compliment I can give because if you can keep my attention for that long, most everyone else will, too!
If I ever get writer's block or can't think of something to write about, yours would be one of the first stops for some inspiration.

My blog is about rock and metal videos. If you think is worth the visit, thisi is the link:
elgiganteverdoso.blogspot.com
You can post your comment wherever you want
Thanks in advance.-
jrgarralda,
You have a HUGE amount of videos on there! I really think people will appreciate that. It's really going to nice to have a one-stop blog for rock and metal videos.
However, your site is incredibly hard to understand. It looks like there are two columns, which, in itself isn't bad. But I really think that if you're going to keep that style you should have everything lined up either left or right. Having everything center in the two columns creates the illusion of disarray. It just looks like there are two huge columns running down a page.

I thought your blog was hilarious!
You can read mine, but warning: its a tad girlie. That may not bug you because maybe you're a tad girlie yourself.
I write about girl stuff (duh), tv (I did a spec of The Office that I posted), and my inner most thoughts and feelings on facial tissues. Enjoy!
mytwentysomethingcents.blogspot.com/-
Stephanie,
The only thing "girly" about your site is the pink background. You write about, nearly, the exact same things I do. I think I like your blog so much because what you write about are the exact same things I'm interested in. I especially enjoyed your post on Cleveland where you compared it to a second Hell Mouth. Awesome.
The only thing that I didn't like was on your entry "The Storm" on the third page is super long. But anyone that can reference pecan pie, Judy Garland and Buffy gets a two thumbs up in my book!

Hey I just got done looking around your blog. Pretty good! You write well, and your pretty witty. But, some of your titles are a little longwinded and your navigation is lost in the cool graphic. I like the layout, but I would prefer something a little less "tech" looking for the background to match the content. I really like your topics, but the identity of the blog is a little confused until you actually start reading the articles. Most viewers especially stumble users won't put that much time into something if you don't hook em right off.
Please feel free to look at my brand new blog
modazen.blogspot.com
Thanks!
All in all though it's a good blog and I would give it a 9 for content and a 7 for design.-
Judeaj,
I think the fact that you've broken down the navigation into daily categories is a very interesting idea. I think on the one hand it's really cool for your regulars to know pretty much what the next post is going to be based around. On the other hand, I'm worried that it may limit the accessibility.
The concept of the blog is genius, though. Everything you write about is independently creative. And being creative myself, I think that's great.
The only other thing is the color scheme. Obviously, I like darker backgrounds. I'm not entirely sure about the dark and light pinks. Now, if your blog were talking about which feminine hygiene products work best, that's one thing. But, and I know this is ridiculous, having a lot of light and dark shades of pink may throw some of the guys off right away. It didn't to me, but for someone that's surfing from work may navigate away a bit quicker.
Overall, I love the concept. I especially love the fact that you interviewed Jodi Chapman and placed it up there. So, content wise you get a 9. Design may be a 6 or 7.
-
-
aprentender... liked the first entry...amused me. I generally don't care for dark background with light/white text but yours isn't too bad. (It's hell to get old and the eyesight starts to falter, yanno.)
I really don't care if you review my place though. Not that big a thing with me.
-
Mike,
I think your blog is outstanding! You have such an easygoing way of writing that when you go off on a tangent, the reader follows right along. I love the fact that you can talk about 9 different things in one rant and people (at least for me) don't even care what the original topic was. You write how I think. And I love that!
Your interface is very clean and simple. Unassuming. But once I started reading what you were writing, the simplicity of the site went out the window because all I could concentrate on was what you were saying.
Overall, very nice. -
Wow.... and thanks.
-
-
-
I think you are an amazingly prolific writer. It may just be me (my cynicism and sarcasm are just acts) but I could actually feel the way you were feeling when I read what you wrote. The problem is, that's good and bad. Good because not many people can emote feelings through the written medium. Bad because it seemed like every post was a negative one. I navigated away from your site because it was making me depressed. I fully understand the situation you're in. I think most of us have been there at some point. But perhaps you can temper some of those posts with ones that are uplifting.
In the end, I truly enjoy reading your work. But I think alienation is going to be a huge issue.
-
-
WOW, very cool... I love it.

www.bloggernoob.com thanks-
Bloggernoob,
I've been to your site before through Entrecard. I think one of the reasons your site is so popular is because you are willing to help others and make it personal. There are so many blogs out there about making money it's a wonder that all the internets tubes don't get clogged with dump trucks. But you manage to impart incredibly valuable information and still remain personable. Especially your post about being banned from JohnChow. It's things like that that turn people off to the 'money making blogs.' Thankfully, your site has great information and it speaks to the kind of person you are. I've been visiting your site for a while now and all I can say to everyone reading this is if you are interested in trying to make money by blogging, your site is a diamond in the rough.
-
-
your blog theme is cool. but not sure if it matches the whole gossip thing. you have great content and regular posting which is good. overall i think you have a solid blog. i would say change the theme to match gossip. my 2 cents
-
MiLan: webreview-milan.blogspot.com-
MiLan,
I have no doubt that your site is extremely successful. My issue is that, to me, your site looks just like every single other "make money online" sites. I mean, you have a standard white background with congested advertisements on the right. I'm not saying that you aren't good at what you do. But I think that your site will get lost amongst the 675423856403 other sites trying to do the same thing.

I don't have a real target audience, but most people get offended and hate my writing.-
Kobra,
Your site is hysterical!! You lay the sarcasm on so thick you may even rival me. I was reading your site for about an hour today. I couldn't get enough. Although, I have to be honest, the hate mail thing has to be made up. There's no way on earth that someone has grammar that poor. Then to dare you to put it on your site? Trust me, I've received a good portion of hate mail through my site, also. Mostly because people aren't aware of what satire is. But anyway, I love your writing.
At first, the layout was a bit confusing. The fully black background with the neon green kind of threw me at first. After taking a step back to get a grasp on the navigation, it was fine. Design wise, I'm not a huge fan. Content wise, you're definitely on my list of regularly visited sites. -
You might be right about the hatemail, but I didn't contrive any of it.
To clarify: The people who sent it to me might have just faked it to try and get attention.
And thanks for your criticism; I'm going to change my layout a bit soon.
-

apretender,
The photos I speak of are on my travel page. They are photos that I have permission to use from other photographers...Eiffel Tower, The Coliseum, Hawaii, Venice, etc. However, I will be posting my Alaska photos as soon as I get them off my other computer as well as adding more as I find them.
I'm new...so eventually I would also like to post about different cities and countries and include photos in the post. Hope that answered your question. Thanks for visiting. -
I'm also not partial to the black background but I loved your art work and your site is very easy to navigate - also very entertaining. My site is a family blog written mostly for my son who recently joined the Army and a second son who will be joining next month.
www.sharonmlove.com
PS - I really shouldn't rag about the background 'cause mine is just a standard template!-
Sharon,
You have no idea how relieved I am that your site is actually worth reading. I was in the Navy for 5 years, so I know what the military does to families. I've seen entirely too many torn apart by this administration. So because of that I was a bit apprehensive about reviewing your blog. Fortunately, it's really great. But then again, I've always been a sucker for reading other people's personal journals and diaries. And that's exactly what your site reads like. It's very endearing.
And for the record, I passed your "True American" test with flying colors. :o)

'Ello (why did I just say that? Hmm...)
danceoutlook.blogspot.com/-
Your site- good content, puts a different spin on things. But the star explosion thing is bothering me. Over all, its pretty good.
-
Selly,
Before I say anything else, SYTYCD is one of the greatest television shows in American history. It opened my eyes to an art form that I took for granted. Until I saw Mia Michaels bench scene (season 2, I think), I'm sad to say, I just didn't get it. So, now dancers (real dancers) hold a dear place in my heart. Actually, one of my best friends owns a dance studio back in Texas.
With that being said, I really enjoy your site. The only problem is that it's such a tightly compacted niche. Although I have fallen in love with dance, you're going to be limited to the amount of people that will follow your site with regularity. But that's ok. It looks to me like you made your blog for the same reason that I made mine. You have a passion for something. And I love that.
The only thing that I found missing was that I don't know who you are!! You need to add an "About Me" page so you become a little more human. Right now it's just a blog about a lot of really amazing dance stuff. But I want to know a little about the person that this art has inspired.
I sincerely hope that you're auditioning for SYTYCD 4. I will definitely be checking in periodically to see how things are working out. -
Thank you for your kind words and advice. I've been thinking of adding an "About Me" page for a while now but haven't gotten around to it. The Treidi bench routine- one of the most amazing pieces of choreography I've seen except maybe Alvin Ailey's Revelations or George Balanchine's Serenade. I've been fortunate enough to work with Mia before and she is indescribably awesome.
Glad you enjoyed the blog!
Selly

Cassanova,
I think your blog is great. It's very clean and easy navigation. And being nearly completely computer illiterate, you have a great deal of information on there but it isn't overwhelming. The only thing I might change would be how many posts are on the first page. Now that I say that, I'm probably going to do the same thing.
-

Man, I loved your blog. It looks like our politics are about in the same line and you are just as ticked off as I am. I have two blogs, if you have the time, but I understand you're probably swamped.
My political satire

And my musings and advice to other expats
cultureshock-survival.blogspot.com/-
Merlyn,
I absolutely loved your political satire blog. When you said the Constitution was the greatest "Dear John" letter... I'm still laughing at that. Keep up the good fight as we Voltaire lovers are getting harder and harder to come by.
The only issue for me is that your page is so looooooooooooooooooooooooooong. You have some stuff at the footer, but I don't think most people would take the time to get all the way down there. I try to keep my page within a 3 scroll limit.
Other than that, man. Great work.
-
-
-
Wil,
You seriously need some interactive content. I mean, you've got a nice, calm, smooth color as your background and nothing to break it up. I think I saw, what, 2 photos and that was it? If you want people to continue reading your page, you have to give them some eye candy.
-
-
-
Remonlumapas,
I'm not too sure I follow the niche of your blog. All it really tells me is that you're a huge fan of The Amazing Race: Asia and Six Flags. On the bright side, you've got a ton of interactive content. I always enjoy looking at sites where people put up polls or discussion boards. It really makes you feel like you're in a community. It looks like you're heading in the right direction.

No videos, no dancing girls, no sweeping National Geographic photography, no ads, no popups. And, I don't serve coffee and donuts. But, if you're interested in viewing anyway, I would appreciate. (Your analysis runs deep.)
www.legalthriller.blogspot.com-
Jack,
From a writing standpoint, you're incredible. I sat and read every article on your page simply because I found your writing style so beautiful. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how many people would sit and read an entire site of con scams (unless, of course, they were trying to pick up a few tricks) as most people don't really think about something like that until it's already happened to them. I know this comparison is way oversimplified but it's like talking about death. Most people don't want to have anything to do with it until it's their time.
I think you are a very prolific writer. And for that reason, I want you to give me something I can sink my teeth into. We all know con artists are out there. We just don't care until it's too late.
Not that it's much of a consolation, but you're invited to guest write on my blog anytime.

Apretender - re: your blog...
Sharp & witty content; nice job. The static background makes it appear MySpace-ish - the subtle appearance of the image doesn't intrude too much though.
I'd still opt for the traditional left hand navigation - visitors almost expect it to be there.
Bigger images would add more contrast and lighten the look even more.
None of these detract from the experience though - your content alone kept me reading. Keep it up.-
Eric,
Man, that is one of the most professional sites I've seen. I would stretch to call it a blog. It reads more like an advertisement. And I think that's wonderful. You've got some really nice high res photos, your navigation up at the top where it should be and your header is great.
I see that you own that domain name, though. My only suggestion would be to break up some of those articles into sub categories and have several pages. I sound like a broken record right now but the length of the site is crazy. It's not like on blogger where you can't create several pages. Since you own the domain I'm sure you're hosting it somewhere. Break that page up, man. You have some good navigation on the left, you can put links to the other pages to your site as well.
Over all, I'm impressed. Very clean and professional. Which, coincidentally, are two things I look for when shopping for a car. Keep it up.
-
-
i looked at your blog, and my first impression was not very good as i hate black colors, and it is not comfortable for human eyes, another thing is that you have some posts with a long title, and i don't think that it is good as users want to read as less as they can and get as much as they can
btw, you are writing well and i like the way you ordered things in your side bars.
Merry Christmas and this is my blog lenky.net/blog/ -
Lenky,
Thank you so much for giving me some helpful feedback on my site. You said what I was thinking. I just needed someone else to say it to me. I've done a full redesign and although I'm a fan of the darker colors, I realized that it was putting people off. So, again, thank you!
Yours, on the other hand, is a complete 180 from mine. It's big and bright and has some really great content. The only thing is that your orange header is really really really orange. It physically hurt my eyes when I opened your page (my sitting in a dark room may have something to do with that, though). The only thing is that the color scheming is a bit off. You have this off-white color for the background then you have a white information area. I think you should go one way or the other. Either go all white or darken the outside for more of a contrast.
Other than that, I really enjoyed it. You have some really great content and just the right amount of pictures, videos and writing. You may want to watch how long your page is also. People don't want to scroll forever.

Hi! Please review my site and comment on the articles.

John-
John,
I think your site is phenomenal. It deals with something that every single person in their life has experienced at one point or another. And the fact that you are throwing it out there to try and help people makes me feel like a huge ass for writing such drivel on my site.
The only two things I would change would be the color of the red on the outside. It's so bright and expressive it almost detracts from the content. The other thing is you might try adding a discussion forum or a real-time chat client. I think you're doing a wonderful thing.

Hi! I'm new to bloggin so I appreciate it if you could give me a few pointers
www.pinoytux.com
Cheers!-
kamotegirl,
I'm so conflicted about your blog! ;o)
On the one hand, it's dealing with all things Linux. So it seems like a very technical blog. But then the Wordpress theme that you're using has these pastel blues and greens. I think there's a lot of really good info on your site. But be aware that the first thing people look at is the design. I had to change mine, too. Everyone here is really helpful and (hopefully) I'm on the right track. So just be aware that your color scheme may turn people away before they get to see what you have to say.

acousticguitarist,
Your site is really nice. I wish it was around about 10 years ago when I started playing! :o)
The header you have kind of makes the site feel very juvenile. I know you want to appeal to a larger crowd and get the younger people playing. However, I think that the people that are going to be searching for guitar sites aren't going to be kids. They'll be adults. The only other thing I would change would be to have a page devoted specifically to tabs, another page to finger placement and instructions and another for purchasables. Don't overwhelm visitors on the first page. -
thanks...i said don't critique it :-)
Yes the header is too kiddy, I do cartoons and can't help myself. I'll be doing some BLACK stuff for the grungers, and a lot of other feels, I teach Flash animation and the ears on these guys move, they twitch and all sorts of things, but yes you are totally correct. I've just been testing for sometime and seeing what happens with search engines and pdfs, how they communicate, how they talk to various points of the blogs and what sort of people turn up. There's apparantly 850+ links into this site. I'm currently building a series of sites that are targettng certain areas and building my own affiliate programs for other people to sell..among other things. Thanks anyway.

You can critique mine if you like.

Why did you post that as a reply? :S

offendedblogger,
Hysterically offensive! Your writing is pure genius. I love nearly everything you've got on there. On many of those posts the non-to-subtle use of satire and allegory kept me laughing for a long time. It's pretty clear that you know what you're doing. The theme really needs to be changed, though. It's big and bulky. Use something nice and simplistic. Your writing will bring people back. Congrats and keep it up!

apretender, I really enjoyed your blog. You might want to consider upping the font-size of the post-titles of your posts, though: while the latest post looks good, the others don't stand out enough as distinct posts, since their titles are the same size as some of the other bolded information.
My blog, JoyChaser.com, covers a variety of topics: social activism, personal development, environmental responsibility, etc. Can't wait to hear your thoughts.-
When you looked at my blog were you using Firefox as your browser? I see the same thing that you mentioned when I use Firefox but if I use Safari, it's fine. Hrmm, I must get to the bottom of this. (running off in a very Doc Brown fashion)

Yes, I use Firefox. Hope it helps.

I'm in love with you. I just want that out in the open right now. You're hilarious but subtle. And the combination of those two seem to be lost on most humor writers of today. Not that you're a humorist as much as a realist. Your banter is 100% entertaining and you are officially my first internet crush.

Anyone who's as excited as I am about the new American Gladiators is alright with me. I know you sent me to your blogspot page... but I couldn't help looking around. I like the blog. I especially like that you can poke fun of yourself. I do, however, love your work. I went and checked out your portfolio and I have to agree with you: some of those Halloween Horror Night photos are great. Your webpage designs are really nice too. I especially love the one for the restaurant. Very elegant.

Um, I know that by my saying this I will be an amazingly huge hypocrite as my blog is all over the place, but there seem to be some things on your site that don't quite fit. I get the whole gardening thing. And if that's what you enjoy writing about then I'm all for it. But I don't know how many readers you're going to get outside of your friends and family as gardening in Australia probably won't reach many people. And you have "The Doors" and "Pingu Sports" listed as 2 pages... and they're games. Trust me, I know that a person's interests are varied, but if you're going to tout your site as a gardening site, then you should maybe think of getting rid of the eccentricities that don't fit.

My niche is heavy metal, horror and gore. Not Al Gore, blogspot somehow thinks I am interested in politics. Gore as in buckets of blood!
Any comments are welcome.-
Even though you told me what your niche was, once I got to your site, I had no idea what I was looking at. Your first page only has one post, which threw me. The subsequent pages range from movie reviews to talks about feminism. Bro, I wish I could critique your site but at this point I still have no idea what I was looking at.

Thanks apretender for your critics

Not a problem. I welcome all of yours, too. I'm not just a writer on an ego trip here. I would love feedback on my site also.

I like the blog. There's some really helpful information on there. The only I will say is try to stay away from the "Make Money Online" posts. As soon as people read something like that, it's a turn off. We've all been inundated with get-rich-quick online schemes so when most people see something about making money online, they will immediately navigate away from your page. However, the posts that actually deal with the tech are great. There's some really useful information there. Keep it up.

Eric,
Personal blogs are great. It's a place to use some of your creative juices and do something that is incredibly self-gratifying. The only problem with a personal blog is that unless there is something exceptional about it, the only person interested in reading it is you. I understand that you're in high school. (You have no idea how I wish I knew how to design and implement a website when I was in high school.) The trick is to keep your writing from sounding like the rants of a high schooler. The layout and design of your site is rudimentary. The topics are benign. And the writing, at times, seems contrived. Like I said, one of these 3 things has to stand out. Grab a reader and keep them there with being exceptional in one of these three areas. I do want to wish you luck on your SBN endeavor. I will happily contribute my site once you have it up and running. Good luck!

I'm sure your blog is wonderful and the writing exquisite. From what I see there are lots of videos and photos (which I like very much.) Unfortunately, English is the only language I know. And a little Pig Latin. But mostly just English. Sorry.
-
-
Nice design on your blog. Very clear and structured. Not sure what the main theme is, but there some interesting posts. Also, I would have liked to see more personal remarks on your posts. You need to give me a reason for coming back :-) Keep up the good work. And you don't have to so prolific every day. Be patient and spread out your posts over a couple of days. Patience is virtue :-)
www.kopidunia.com-
First of all, thank you so much for actually giving me some feedback. My initial reason for starting this thread was to exchange ideas and get a better grasp on what people wanted to see when they got to my page (completely self-serving, I know) but it turned into a "I'll critique your blog and I'll be on an ego trip whilst getting no help on mine" post. So, thank you for giving me some insight. I sincerely appreciate it.
As far as your blog is concerned: Holy Lord, I enjoy the sweet chocolaty nectar of NesCafe as much as the next male not engaging in any type of sex acts. But sweet baby Jesus, a whole site dedicated to it?!!? It's both brilliant and disturbing all at once. Congrats on that!

I really enjoyed your site. I didn't quite get it at first but after navigating away from the blog and reading your "About Us" page it all came into focus. As cynical as I am, I can appreciate and enjoy a nice inspirational page. I especially like that you have contributing writers come in and guest author. I would love to get to that place where people want to guest write. And congrats on the book!

My niche is basically bachelors or single guys, just mindless guy entertainment-
I really like your site. Of course, being a single guy, if I didn't there would be an issue. The WordPress theme you're using doesn't overshadow your content, which is nice. The only thing is that some of the posts seem to be a bit worn and derivative; such as the 'female language translation.' But there are other posts that are great and really original. Overall, I spent an hour watching videos and reading articles so you must be doing something right. :o) Keep up the good work.

First of all, I love sushi. The worst 3 months of my life were in boot camp. Not because I had a 4 foot tall black man with halitosis screaming at me in the middle of the night. Not because I realized that "Accelerate Your Life" actually meant "Bring Your Life To A Standstill." Not because I became aware that serving my country really meant cleaning toilets. And not because I figured out that there were no intelligent people in the military because they all realized that they were too intelligent to be in the military. Nay. It was because I went 3 months without sushi. A friend of mine and I actually talked about it every Sunday. Ah, the memories...
Anyway, I digress. Your site is genius. So genius, in fact, that I will now stand my unbathed ass up and take a shower for no other reason than to go out and get some sushi. Kari (I'm assuming is your name), blessed are you among the sushi lovers.
I'm hungry.

My niche is kind of sci-fi humor, but I range pretty widely and try not to get stuck in a rut too much.-
Andy,
Your site is hysterical. You have a great writing style. Everything flows together very nicely. I enjoyed reading. There's an open invitation to guest write for me anytime. And you have been added to my blogroll. Nice work!

I like the template site. I'm always looking for new templates so this is something that would interest me. The other site, however, I don't like. I think I may just be a little jaded to the "make money online" sites. Not that yours deserves to be clumped in with my stereotype, but if you've seen one online money making site you've seen them all.
Overall, the design aspect is nice. I don't like the way that blogspot makes you keep so many entries on a single page. After a while, everything starts to look so cluttered.

Hi there,
Some feedback on your blog:
"irreverent" might not be the word you're looking for, have a read of the definition at: dictionary.reference.com/search?q=irreverent
"ricockulous" is this a typo or intentional? If it's intentional that's fine
Personally I don't find the "recent comments" widget very useful or interesting, particularly because it only shows the title of the post that has been commented. If it showed the first 70 chars of the comment that might be a different matter, but as is it's just extra clutter imho.
In terms of content your writing is good and entertaining, however sometimes it feels like the blog lacks focus. Is it a humour blog, a celebrity news blog, or what? The article on celebrity nerds was really good, but the news about Lohan drinking was uninteresting (not because of your writing, but because a) That news was covered so well in mainstream news, and b) I don't personally care much for the personal lives of celebrities).
Generally the look of your site is nice, it's readable and mostly logical. Your articles are well written and particularly the ones you spend a bit more time on (full articles as opposed to snippets) are really interesting. Keep it up!
My blog is www.tamingentertainment.co.uk, we are a multi-author blog providing informative reviews of various elements of the entertainment industry (movies, music, gaming). Recently we have revamped the way we write so the most recent reviews will be much better than the old ones.
Looking forward to your feedback!-
Shiv379,
Thank you for your feedback! I used irreverent because there are several posts dealing with religion which lack a sort of... well, reverence. As far as 'ricockulous' goes, yes. It was very much intentional. I see what you are saying about the recent comments widget. I was struggling with that one also. But since you echoed my own thoughts I decided to take it down. Thank you!
I would love to go take a look at your blog but I got an error message every time I tried to navigate over there. I used both Firefox and Safari. Your site's down. Once you get it up and running, please let me know. I'd love to take a look! -
Will do, thanks. Unfortunately we've had some DNS problems this evening but as soon as that's sorted I'll let you know.

"ricockulous" is this a typo or intentional?
ricockulous: When "ridiculous" just isn't vulgar enough.
apretender I quite enjoyed your blog. Feel free to check out mine and tear it a new hole. www.livingonadsense.com-
I don't think I can rip your page a new one. I really like it. You have some very nice content and your interface is clean and understandable. You pretty much have what everyone looks for in a blog. Very nice job. Keep it up!

I like the part about fashion the most... I am a woman but I also hate the same clothes you do. I still can't figure why women want to wear those gross dresses if they aren't pregnant. And as for crocks, they may cost $30 but they look like they should be sold in a Dollar Store. Ugly doesn't even fit, they are so grotesque.

For some reason, I'm having trouble getting to your blog....?
I am getting ready to do a redesign, so comments would be helpful.

There isn't much I can say about your page. It's fantastic. I really enjoy reading posts from people that have a firm grasp of language. You are very prolific and that's a rare and wonderful thing. Very, very nice.

hikzz... you wanna do what to my blog? _ _ _ _
chroniclesoftrisna.blogspot.com/-
I would suggest that before you post something you do a little language editing. It's such a huge turn off for me to go to a site and not enjoy what's being written about simply because your grammar is horrible. No matter how much you try, "argumentations" isn't a word. I got about 3 sentences into your first post and sat there shaking my head in disbelief. If you're going to write in English, you better make it good.

Hiya again, www.tamingentertainment.co.uk is back online now
~Shiv-
Your site seems like it's a mishmash of different entertainment media. A good deal of the thing that you review are so obscure (other than that Fender bass which is one of the prettiest guitars I've ever seen) that I was immediately disinterested. Your layout, however, is nice and clean.

Please, for the love of all that's holy, tell me that English is your second language. If it is, then please disregard what I'm about to say. If it isn't, you should probably sue your school district for not giving you an education. I, sincerely, couldn't understand one thing you were saying. I'm not even sure there was a single sentence that was readable. An example of what I'm talking about is:
"It has been a very one and only experience for me though. But basically, I am enjoying it as it is a night out with my fellow, dear friends and crush. *giggles*"
What the hell? What does that mean? You can't just string together random words and pray that when you're finished they will make sense. -
very honest nice! -
woa.. nice

hey there!
thanks for the comments. supposedly, some people will be pissed off, for the things you have said. but for me, i would like to thank you for your time visiting my blog. its a pleasure, indeed.
and to answer your question, yes. english is my second language. i appreciate your critique, however, just to let you know, it is a personal blog. So most of the times i wrote as if i am talking instead of writing an essay for a test or a homework (it's not like i am in a class or anything like that). so, i guess that explained the grammatical errors here and there. i am so sorry if that pissed you off, as i can see that you were cursing now and then.
i've visited your blog, and yeah... nice blog you have there. but seems like you have been scribbling what's in your mind here and there; and you seems to be a guy full of hatred?! everything seems to piss you off, and critism seems like your main object of interest?
anyway, nice layout. its obviously shown that you are a guy. people wont mistaken it as a girl's blog!
i'll be visiting your blog now and then. somehow, i think it is an interesting blog! keep up the good work! -
sorry, it's criticism... afraid that you might point out that bit later on!
-
i mean, the spelling...
"everything seems to piss you off, and critism seems like your main object of interest?" -

your blog is interesting, I thought the internet dating was funny, just watch out, you might want the girls who say they just like fun, the other's with extra witty profiles might also be extra sneaky -

I thoroughly enjoyed what I have read of your blog. I like your writing style - in-your-face and entertaining. Your art rocks and I really enjoyed the Alan Shore speech to the Supreme Court. I like the way you do the "Keep Reading" thing with longer posts - how is that done?
Anyway, my blog isn't very old (just 35 posts so far) but I'd appreciate a critique.
