BLOG REVIEW FOR - What Would Suzie Do

Blog Title: What would Suzie Do. Click here to visit the blog.

Blog Type: Personal

Review:

The blog would hit you with its honesty. The blogger writes about her personal experiences in life, especially marriage, with all the courage. The writing style is bold, satirical, and it's as if the blogger is chatting with a very close friend. And that's why she is far from being pretentious and is opening her heart to you without any fear of being judged. Kudos.

The background is done curiously in stripes, and the header image is intriguing too. It suits the content of the blog. The profile pic of the blogger portrays a very confident image of her. Good choice.

The layout of the blog is good too. The Menu-items don't come with the standard blogger templates. Hence, thumbs up to the menu.

Regarding archives, some readers might just be too lazy to click on June(14), and then reach the 14 posts, and then scroll to find which one seems interesting. A suggestion would be to have the tree structured blog-archive.

There are no advertisements on the blog yet.

To sum it up, a quirky read for those who are getting bored with the 'goody-stuff' on usual blogs.

BLOG REVIEW FOR - I AM OMEGA

Blog Title: I AM OMEGA. Click here to visit the blog.
Blog Type: Personal

Review:
"Omega" means ending of a series or sequence. And the young blogger, as mentioned in his profile, wants to end his shy nature and become more of a 'man' :-)

The background is stark white, and the complete layout is quite minimalist. It goes with his described personality and blog subject. It let's the reader concentrate more on his content.

The posts are mostly short and describe his daily experience in life. The posts are interesting. Readers can get to know what goes on in a youngster's mind. You can see that fidgetiness in post's topics, and that's the charm of this blog - "straight from the heart of a 24 year young boy". It's a personal blog for self-improvement.

Perhaps, the target readers could be other young readers who are going through the same phase of life.

There are no advertisements on this blog yet. Hence, there is some more place in side-bars to utilize. The blogger can add "subscribe" widget to increase repeat-visitors.

I would suggest the blogger to join Twitter or other social forums where he can meet like-minded people. They would enjoy his posts, and share their own experiences. This would increase the readership further.

Over all, an interesting read.

Cheers
