We all need to find out zen moments sometime, don’t we? If you think you do, take a minute to check out the Laws of the Universe Blog. Here you will find a blog that the author wishes to use to convey his knowledge gained thus far about the way this universe functions according to certain laws and how we can architect our own destiny by practicing these laws. The author is Malathy Badri, a Math teacher in India who blogs for both fun and money. His life slogan is to pass it on; share, and we at Bloggeries are doing just that by telling you about his blog. You can get a feel for his Laws of the Universe concepts by reading his recent posts You roam the world, we follow; Death penalty to whom?, Make a jambalaya, Perfect Wedding Anniversary Gift, Patrick Bernard’s Spiritual Path, An Indian Dating Website, New Products from Multivend, and Love Letters from God. While not all of these posts are zen related or even contain spiritual musings, they are all a very interesting read.
Navigation on this site is fairly straightforward. I do recommend you view this in Mozilla Firefox as you can, or you may think there are formatting issues with the right navigation bar. There aren’t the site is just better viewed there. I do run across this from time to time and it is no reflection of the blogger. Posts are centered with both a left and right navigation system. The posts are bright blue text on a calming azure type background and links are highlighted in red. AdSense is incorporated throughout the blog with the same color theme so it blends in very well. In the left navigation bar you will find the about me section, archives, blogs that link here, and some advertising. In the right you will see some AdSense, tools for spiritual development links, book recommendations, and a photo visitor log. I do see categories labeled on each post, but I do not see a categories menu on the blog. I also would not mind seeing some pictures added to the blog, from what I can see there is only one on the main page. I would suggest adding some pictures to make the blog a little more fun to read.
I am going with a 3.3/5 for this one. I like that the blog has recent and frequent posting, and for someone writing from India the English is very good. The content is well written, though sparse for the actual topic of the blog niche. I would suggest some more posting on the spirituality component of the blog. I would also suggest some AdSense changes. Currently there is AdSense at the top of the page as soon as you open up the blog, and I think this is a little distracting from the blog content. As mentioned I would also add a categories menu. The blog just needs some tweaking then in Appearance and Navigation categories, but otherwise the blog is doing well on other accounts. For those that have an interest in Zen living and Spirituality, I would recommend having a look at this one to get a unique perspective on the Laws of the Universe.
