sounds like a good idea, but i still can't post links in here

[Madness of the World]

I think you have to post so many posts before you are authorised to post links - quite a good idea to stop spammers and people who just come in to advertise their blog then do a runner!!

I hope Self-help won't mind if I pick up the slack where he left off. I am not much of a blogger yet (been at it for nearly 4-5m), but I have great aspirations and I think about my blog and others... so take all that I say with a giant grain of salt. I am no expert!

Also, if I take the time to discuss your blog's layout I'd like something in return (if you don't mind). Please visit my blog after ward and follow it and/or make a comment somewhere (quirkymomma.com).

I'll start with randomasianmusings.blogspot.com
- love the brief excerpts. I think you could have a few more images and the layout is a bit "canned" but your content is hilarious! Love the toilet paper and the scotch tape trick!

youngminii.wordpress.com - wordpress says you deleted your blog. When you update your link let me know and I'll give you my opinions.

yourmotivationmindpower.blogspot.com
- Youblog covers topics we here at bloggeries are interested in - blogging! I wish your header had links. I tried following your pages from the header but they were broken. Your Top Articles List was nice. I was able to follow related articles.

jacquesyoussef.com
- I think I already gave you critque earlier... I like your subject area, your articles are really well written. I might add more images... but I think you accomplish the scholarly feel, which is what you seem to be going for.

I will get to the others sometime this evening. To those with whom I've shared my thoughts, feel free to let me know if you want more specific feedback.... and remember to follow or comment on my page. Thanks.

Well, madnessoftheworld dot com...
Your blog is kinda catchy, like those songs that stick in your head. Like it. The only thing I would do different is organize your material so I can find older posts more easily. Or have a link beneath each post that says "for more like it" and brings up a box of related posts (ex: if it's the model, what other models do you discuss), some way for me to find older posts...

http://teenbloggerkid.com/Gary, I like your site and think its a great motivation to us, if a kid can "make it" blogging, so can we! I even like your layout, alot. And nothing seemed clunky or "missing". The only change I would make is a stylistic one. I'd swap your categories column with the ads... but thats a style preference, not usability.

Elle,
Your most recent post is nice! I am going to link to it when we do our weekly theme on the "body". I like the big graphics - it fits your "celebrity" blog theme really well. The only change I'd make is to make your header a bit smaller. It detracts from your posts. People only want to scroll so far... I've seen those rotating boxes (like here burbmom.net) maybe think of one of those for your posts if you want to keep your large header - this way your content isn't "lost".

Did I miss anyone?

Remember to check me out!!!

Hi QuirkyMomma - please have a look at my blog too - Kent Today & Yesterday

Thanks!

What I liked about your blog:

I like the look and the topic of your blog. I know I will be back there to check out every money-making tip from the Top 51 Best Ways to Make Money Online and Work from Home blog article I read.

Other things I liked about your blog:

You have made your blog more interesting by doing a review on each site. I also like how you have your Amazon books ad arranged on the right in Tips from the Pros.

One thing I would change:

I did not proof everything, but noticed that you may want to add a "the" or an "a" before "domain" in the first sentence of the second section in your FAQs section.

Thanks for letting me see and review your blog. I look forward to hearing about mine, which I want to redo as Wordpress blogs or improve with a new, better template.

Glen,

Sorry, I had nearly forgotten about this thread. My son loves your pictures! "There's Henry from Thomas and friends!" Have you thought of having the Tourism or Public Relations of Kent feed you information and sponsor you? It can give you more traffic as they can send local people to you and you can help them out too. Kent looks like a gorgeous place to live. The only thing I would add is a link for older popular articles in the dead space on the right, or a drop down categories list, or a tag cloud, or something. I think it might be more useful than a calendar archive... and most people don't want to scroll and scroll to get to good reading. Let me know if you want widget suggestions. I can send you the links to the widgets I use.

Betsyanne,
The threads are starting to blend together in my mind. Did you want me to review your "redo" - I thought I had commented on another thread but if I haven't holler.
