Appearance and Style - (Out of 20)
When I went onto your site my first thoughts were: "wow". The site looks really professional and the top slider made it even better. My favourite tech blog has this and it's a great way to see the latest news quickly and with ease. The only thing I noticed is the slider over powers the logo which may be what you're wanting, but it might look better if the banner was a stronger colour, but of course this is just a preference. Great work on this aspect though, I can see you've taken time to make the blog look good!

Blog Layout and Categorization - (Out of 20)
Your categorisation is amazing! You have just the right amount of categories and good ones which suit the blog. The blog layout looks really professional too and having a nice picture next to the blog post is a great thing to do because I can put words to a picture. What can I say? Amazing work in this aspect!

Commenting Activity and Other Interactions - (Out of 20)
I've given you a 13 because you do have some comments, but not many. I didn't see any comments on the recent blog entries, only on the next page which isn't visible straight away. Try the $FP exchange board, or exchange comments for comments because as a reader, I want to see commenting and be able to interact with other people commenting. Your comments though are of high quality, which is great! An idea I had for you so you can get more comments is at the end of every blog post ask a question. This might make users comment on your post with an answer. Let's say you have a blog post about the new iPhone, you could ask a question like this: "All these statistics make this phone sound great! Will you be buying one?" This will generate comments, by people replying to your questions.

Quality and Frequency of Posts - (Out of 20)
You seem to have a few days between each blog post which is good, it's a good amount but it would be great to see then more often, as more people would come back to your site more often. Your posts are clear quality in my opinion and your blog posts are something I would read. Increase your blog post frequency and you might get more people coming back or even new readers!

Spelling/Grammar - (Out of 20)
Your latest posts first sentence says: why is back up your computer important. This should be: why is backing up your computer important. Another one I found was in the top scroller was this: "Who wants to watch their favrite shows on the television?" I'm sure you can see the problem, favourite is spelt wrong. Those are just two I noticed straight away. Overall though, you spelling and grammar is good, it would be best if you installed a spell checker in your browser or wrote all the blog entries in Microsoft Word which does sentence grammar as well.
