Appearance
I enjoy looking at the florid and elaborate background of your blog. It fits well with the topic of your blog and has a delicate touch to it. The foods that are posted put even more interest into it as they are very attractive. I like how it’s organized and if I had to add anything, it would just be to include more things to your blog like a counter (that way you have some way of getting statistics). There’s a big splash of colors that make the site lively and non-boring. Even the text itself is formatted in a way that is not dull and insipid. Great job on this blog’s appearance and great work on the organization of it. Also changing the appearance of the title could be a step forward because it’s plain in juxtaposition with the colorful, spicy background. I’d suggest something in graffiti-like letters or a casual, calligraphic-like text that goes well with the blog’s appearance. Hopefully this is possible, otherwise you can consider the other things stated above.
Layout
Really the only thing I can comment about layout is that it is organized nicely. It is arranged in chronological order so that the newest post on the blog is shown and I think that’s pretty convenient for your members. I think the links on the side could be cleaned up a bit, there’s a lot of repetition in them and so you have to do a little digging to find the actual recipe. But overall there’s a good amount of text placed on the site and a good balance of text and image. The site has a neat layout that attracts your audience and is very professional looking. There’s just the right amount of posts featured on the first page that doesn’t bombard the person with information and doesn’t leave too much space on the sides and scrolling down so much. It’s organized nicely and simplistically so there’s no big hassles in navigating your blog.
Statistics and Activity
Since it’s not a forum there’s not a concrete way to measure your statistics, but I can say there is about an average of 4 comments for every blog post made by you which is great. There’s seemingly a lot of activity going on and the site is constantly updated with new things to share to your members. The amount of posts per month is starting to decrease a little (50 to 90 to 62 to 33.) so make sure you keep up with the amount of posts made and always keep it updated. A lot of the posts are also recommended by Google so that’s a good indicator that your blog is frequently visited and there’s a good level of activity on it. Keep up the good work and remember to stay on track!
Content
The content is absolutely exquisite. Every post from day 1 has been filled with thorough recipes and delicious foods that can enrich the experience on your site. I can say from experience that posting on the blog is always a joy because it is full of creativity and a variety of media that fit together. The blog is doing very well in the content area and is consistent in its value. There are many good conversations in each post that make the site more interesting each time. It’s professional, versatile, adequate, and good-looking all at the same time. As far as I’m concerned, this area is right where it needs to be and needs very little improvement. Excellent work.
Organisation and SEO
Since it’s based on the subdomain of blogspot.ca, there’s not a lot of information to provide on your SEO. However your Alexa Rank is 2,510,903 and have 12 sites linking in which is not bad at all for a blog that’s only been open for a relatively short time. You have a PR of 1 out of 10.
Words from the Reviewer
This blog is doing very well. I hope it continues to grow in the future and keeps up the progress. Great job and good luck!
