Those who are constantly on the hunt for the latest and greatest gadgets will find them at The Gadget Advisor Blog. The gadget advisor technology news blog is filled with only the most innovative and the cutting edge products and gadgets on the markets. You will also find here add-ons, plug-ins, and extensions that can be used in browsers or other software. What sets this blog apart from all the other gadget blogs out there is that it admits that it will not cover every single gadget coming to the market. However, if you like to tinker with the toys, this gadget will certainly tickle that techie bone. You can see this for yourself through any of the most recent bloggeries which include: Recommended Firefox Extensions; OCZ Releases Triple Channel DDR3 Memory Kits; Free Firefox Web Directory Form Filler Extension; MSI X58 Eclipse Motherboard ; OpenOffice.org 3.0 Released.
The blog offers a very professional layout and this makes it a breeze to navigate. The blog theme is in a quiet green with bloggeries in dark text on white background. Bloggeries are left marginalized and there are many navigation systems on this blog, but not too many to work around. The top navigation system offers you links to Home, About, and Advertisement, while a navigation system in the header will take you to Gadgets, Tech News, Computer Hardware, Computer Software, Featured Articles, and Archives. There is a double wide right navigation system as well where you will find all of the blog essentials you need. A Posts Menu divided into Popular, Featured, Comments, and Tags is the first thing you will find here. Following this you find advertisement, Categories Menu, Site Pages, and Resources Menu which serves as a blogroll. The blog is only a couple of months young, so you will not find too many categories yet, but expect this to grow. Right now five categories exist, and the blogger may want to consider expanding that due to the breadth of the niche. At present, the blog is primarily an information blog and so it looks quite text based. You won’t find any graphics on the opening page, but as you go into the bloggeries pictoral graphics are present in most if not all bloggeries.
This blog gets a 4.5 at the time of review, which is a great mark on such a young blog. Though the blog presents itself well, it still does need some tweaks to amp it up a bit. The categories menu could be beefed up a little as mentioned in order to ease navigation a little, but otherwise the navigation is very easy. The content is well written in a user friendly voice which is important for a blog of this nature. Appearance wise the blog is clean and friendly, though I do suggest offering more graphics on the opening page within the bloggeries to spice it up a bit. Activity seems consistent and regular which is a great sign, but again, the bloggeries themselves do not have time and date stamps, and readers like to see current times on recent bloggeries. Overall however, this is a great blog that is well organized, and will be well appreciated by todays gadget lover.
