Well, if you are a Giants fan still reveling in the glory from the SuperBowl, then you may be happy to know there is still a place you can hang out to dish about your favorite team. There is a blog on the New York Giants, called Giant Bits. The blogger is working hard to keep football fans hunger satiated with all there is to know about the Giants. While the blog revels in the Superbowl victory, this is not just another Superbowl dish. Read his recent bloggeries to find out: Coach Spagnuolo to Stay with the Giants, A Giant Upset: Super Bowl XLII Champions, Super Bowl XLII: Giants at New England, Super Bowl XLII: Giants vs Patriots, Surprise Trip to Arizona, Awasom Arrested, Me-Ki Barber and Why These Giants are Better Without Him, Super Bowl XLII and Me-Ki Barber, Specter Calls for Congressional Hearing on “Spygateâ€, and Knight Signs with Gmen; Other Free Agent News.
The blog is very easy to read, well organized, and easy to navigate. Bloggeries are centralized and there are both left and right navigation bars. In the left navigation bar you will find a host of sites to buy NFL tickets such as CTC Tickets, Vivid Seats, The Seats. Here you will also find a Categories Menu with only one category called ‘UnCategorized’, Archives Menu, Recent Posts Menu, and Related Blogs Menu. In the right navigation system is some AdSense. Each bloggery is well laid out and associated with relevant pictures. I like the theme of the blog as well, it reads as if it was the sports section of the newspaper in both appearance and in tone of content.
Overall I give this blog a 4/5, and have just a few suggestions. The blog looks great from an appearance and navigation perspective and scores well on content as well. I would suggest the blogger add some categories to the categories menu just to make navigation a little bit simpler than it is at this point. Judging by his recent posts, I would even suggest categories such as Coaching, Injury List, Superbowl Stats, Players, and etc. The blog is missing an About page, but given the function of an about page, I don’t think this blog needs it unless he wants to connect with his readers on a more personal level. It is pretty clear what the blog is about, but some readers may enjoy a little About information to add a more personal feel to the blog. Overall, though not a Giants fan (my apologies) I enjoyed reading this blog and think that any Giants fan would benefit from this blog, as much as the writer would benefit from that readership.
