Your Blog Review

Appearance and Style - (Out of 20)

Your theme really does look pretty nice. The background is pretty, and the colors go together well. However, your whole blog is really bright. It may be just because my vision is getting bad, but it really bothers my eyes to read the text against the extremely bright background. In all fairness, my monitor's brightness was up to a fairly high level, but my monitor itself isn't bright. That last sentence may seem unnecessary to you, but I'm just warning you that users with especially bright monitors may be squinting to read your blog. You could solve this by changing the pure white background to a very light gray. Other than that, though, I really think your blog looks good.

Blog Layout and Categorization - (Out of 20)

Your blog's physical layout is pretty good. Your categorization is also good; your blog posts are divided into clear categories. I think that it would be better if you could make the table that contains the actual blog post wider, but I'm not sure if you can do that without messing up the way the whole theme looks. I dislike the way the table with the blog post is so narrow, though. On bigger resolutions (1280x800 is what I'm using), there seems to be too much empty space. Other than that issue, though, I think that your layout is good. Your categorization doesn't seem to need any change whatsoever.

esnt3o.webp Commenting Activity and Other Interactions - (Out of 20)
It doesn't appear that you have a very active base of commenters. If I'm not mistaken, you frequent a lot of forums. You should definitely be advertising your blog in your signature on all those forums. You also do graphics unless I'm mistaken. Perhaps as an incentive to comment, you could offer a prize of free graphics for a random commenter or something of that nature. It might draw some new eyes to your blog, and they might like what they see. These two actions may increase your audience at least in the short term. You'll have to provide quality posts over an extended period of time in order to keep that audience.

2nrlyjk.webp Quality and Frequency of Posts - (Out of 20)
I believe that the older posts on your blog were deleted when you were hacked (Source: "About" page), so I don't have a good indication of long-term activity on your blog. However, it looks like you've been posting to your blog quite a bit recently. The quality of your posts appears to be very good. I found myself reading quite a few of them simply because they were really intriguing. However, I see that you are posting several times in one day. It's great to have brand new content, but I would keep it to a maximum of one or two per day. Any more than that can be a bit overwhelming, and you might find that some of them don't get noticed if you post too many. However, I think that your articles are very intriguing.

Spelling/Grammar - (Out of 20)

I can see that you try your best to use good spelling and grammar on your blog, but I can still pick out some errors in spelling and grammar. The grammar errors are pretty minor for the most part, but you still may want to proofread your articles just to be sure that you haven't made any obvious mistakes. As for the spelling errors, I would highly recommend running your posts through Microsoft Word (if you don't have Microsoft Word, there is a free alternative that is every bit as good at OpenOffice.org) or using Firefox's spell checker. Spelling mistakes are very off-putting because spell checkers are so readily available now. You can go to Google and find a spell checker. Please try to clean up the mistakes; you don't want them to distract the readers from your wonderful content.
(Scored 15/20)
Total Score - 77 (Out of 100)


Final Remarks: Your blog is really good in most areas, but it really falls short in a couple of them. That's why your score was slightly low. Despite the low score, I really think that your blog is great and that you write well.
