Well I’ve decided I need to come up with some type of criteria to base my reviews on. I don’t have anything definitive worked out yet but I think a system of points where a point will be removed for criteria not met by a blog should work nicely. Now I have to decide exactly what makes a great blog and what makes a terrible blog and then still a few in between. I should expect that I will have this worked out by tomorrow. I must say that I’m very anxious to get on with the reviews and with good reason too since there’s literally millions of blogs on the net so that being the case I really don’t have any time to waste.

Review: The Auto Blog
Ok on with the reviews, this review is for The Auto Blog, http://www.partstrain.com/blog/. As an ex-mechanic I found this blog to be very interesting not to mention very informative so it was difficult for me to pull myself away for long enough to write this review.
I must say I plan on heading back there as soon as I’m finished here as well. The blog is maintained by Rowan Pierce and is updated daily, subject matter consists of news from the automotive industry.
The blog written using WordPress though you would never know it from looking at it since it’s been completely customized. Based on the fact that the blog is updated daily, is very well written and well organized, on a scale of one to five I give it a five.
I think anyone would enjoy reading this blog. Keep up the good work Rowan.

Reviews
Well I was hoping I would be able to start the reviews but time is just not on my side today. We have moved the site to a new and more reliable server and went with a fresh install of the script so I’ve spent most of the day getting the blog back up to date and in sync with the rest on the blogs in the network and I’m far from done but I’m getting close. On the positive side though all the problems I was having have been fixed by the new install, now let’s hope it stay’s that way. I’m still working on the contact form that will be used for requesting reviews and with any luck I should have it on line by tomorrow.
