While the site has an overall appearance of being a little busy, it does not have any navigation flaws. Posts are left marginalized with the standard right sided navigation bar. The appearance from an overall perspective is appealing, though slightly busy. The background is a montage/collage of historical figures and the header and footer both have serene mountain pictures that are intended to inspire calmness. Below the list of the daily postings is a series of cartoons for inspiration and a smile, and then a long list of famous quotes with pictures of the quotee. You will find legends in this list such as JFK, George Bernard Shaw, Woody Allen, and so many more. The right sided navigation bar contains a list of his blogs, advertising, a place to subscribe to the blog either through email or RSS, blogroll, and his extensive list of categories. I won’t list all of the categories here, there are literally scores and scores of them. Suffice it to say that if you are looking for a quote within a specific niche, you will find it somewhere in the categories menu. Some of them included: Common Sense, Achievements, Attitudes, Assumptions and Classic Quotes
I am going with a 3.5 on this one, this blog lost some points with me for appearance. I think there are elements to the appearance that I find very appealing, and as would his readers. But a lot of it is quite busy and I had some issues with navigation as a result. I think the section below the postings with all of the cartoons and historical quotes can probably be moved to a separate page, or within one of the category links. I also find the amount of advertising to be on the excessive side, as I was looking for quotes in amongst the ads, whereas it really should be the other way around. Overall however, I think this blog has a great idea for his niche, and I think it would be a lot more effective once some of these appearance changes are managed.
