When you are looking for a little bit of everything blog, you may want to take a minute to look at a blog called Current Affairs . The blog is written by Samundra and is written with the objective to bring to you breaking world news and current affairs that would ‘freak your brains’. Samundra writes on quite an eclectic group of topics which you can see in any of his recent bloggeries: Hypnosis coach; Bomb attack in India; Great time in Australia; JayZ, Hip Hop Cash King; No interest credit card; Looking for a bike rack; Indian Idol 3; Fun Time; Sanjaya dutta got the bail; and Velvet Clothes Shopping. You can see the eclectic mix of “Current Affairs†stems from Samundra’s affiliation with Pay Per Post which he is very forthright about in a disclaimer located in the right navigation bar. That being said, this blogger could never be short of topics to write about simply due to its eclectic mix.
Navigation with this blog is very straightforward, which is simply due to the simplicity of the blog as there is not much blog meat here other than bloggeries content. Posts here are left marginalized and there is a right navigation bar. Bloggeries are black text on white background with a pale green border and a blue header. In the right navigation bar you will find a links menu, subscription information, an impressive 252 reader feed burner, archives menu, and his PPP disclaimer. The blog has very few pictures within the posts from what I can see, and there is no categories menu or about page attached to this blog.
I am going with a 2.4/5 for this blog as simply, there was very little to appeal to me with this blog other than its content. I do give credit to this dedicated blogger who is currently blogging at a daily pace, however, this blog is simply a skeleton that could use some meat and original content. To connect more with current and future readers this blog would do well with an about page or profile page so the readership can get a feel for where the writer is coming from. I also think a categories menu would do this blog a world of good given the wide topic range within the blog. I personally did not quite understand what the blog was actually about until I spent some time with it which could hurt potential readership. Further, the blog has some spelling errors that need to be looked at, the most obvious one being in the header, which I think could prevent attracting new readers. So I think spellcheck during posting would definitely benefit the content. Many people that stumble across it may not spend the time simply to get to know the blogger. So I do recommend that some meat get added to this blog to make it stand out a little bit.
