Random Wahm Thoughts Review

Site Name : Random Wahm Thoughts

Blog overview : Pink is coloring background place on this blog. My first prediction is the blog created by a girl. Seeing the head picture is make my predicition stronger. Well, there is no profile placed on homepage, but I know she is girl and using “K” as the surfname. Nice simple impression 

Design : I ever visiting pancake shop called The Nanny, and this blog design remind me of that place. I love interior design of The Nanny, so you know what I mean? I love the design of the blog also. Using 3 column template with pink, yellow, a bit brown and green makes me feel comfortable to read content. I love it. Not too many talk about design, it’s already great. Also love with the mouse pointer (hard to explain, just see ownself )

Activity : 1 day 1 article is my prediction of this blog. Because I find on the history/archive, there is already 14 article on this November (which when this article created, it’s 14th November 2009). No offense again about the activity, it’s already active. I’m sure blogging is interesting activity for the K.

Content : What this blog about? I find there is article about breastfeeding and also drink can called Royal. Scrolling to another page, there is post about contest and about chocolate. Oh, so this blog is for anything . Not too problem, until not purposed for making money (however, monetizing blog without specific topic is hard). Soft topic, simple design, what a good combination :D. K is great.

Overall : 7.5/10

Seiko's Diary Review

Site Name : Seiko's Diary

Blog overview : The headtitle show me Seiko’s Diary name. Is this blog created by Japanese girl? Another reason which make think of it is the choice of picture on top. It’s remind me on Japanese dorama, especially Ichi Rittoru no Namida/1 Litre of Tears (Because it’s tell about Japanese girl diary also). Well, maybe the purpose of this blog is same with Aya, the main artist on that dorama (1 litre of tears).However, nobody knows :D. But it would be great if this blog also adapted become dorama.

Design : Colorful on the first, but I find there is no design/background color on the article area. Well, I’m people who not taking too much attention with design. Because we know, content is more important. Since the topic is not specific/not about design,blog resource, etc…a choice of this simple design is no longer a problem.

Activity and content : No doubt, why Seiko use “Diary” word included on the title. It’s so active, and like a daily diary. Tell the world which Seiko seeing and feeling everyday. Can’t opine too much about it, since because this is Seiko Diary, so just let Seiko write anything on it. It’s Seiko’s world and Seiko point of view.

Overall : 7.5/10

Anak Ni Kulapo Review

Site Name : Anak ni kulapo

Blog overview : First impression after the blog is opened. First, wow the logo placed on top is like blog about war. But when seeing after it, why there is so many funny picture. LOL. Another thing is, oh no, the content is using no english. I'm bet it's vietnamese or phillipines.

Design : The logo is shown soldier in siluete. Well, that's make the choice of using green color is relevant. Not take too long time to be generated, so it's good in a "access time". This blog using 3 column template. Personally, i love the design such it's simple even there is many ads and widget placed on the sidebar.

Activity : Good activity...!!! There is 3 post on this november, it's a proof that the owner is update him/her blog frequently. Well, but don't make opinion to quickly...!!! I'm suddenly want to know the activity on October 2009. Oops, it's only 5 post? Advice from me : 5 post per month is OK but in case your blog is about hard topic, anak ni kulapo is easy article topic so i think it's should updated more often. An historical activity shown the activity is fluctuative, there is a month that 20+ article is created, but there is a month when less than 10 article is created. Another advice : Please be consistent about your blog post time.

Content : My impression in the first is that the blog is about funny picture. But after i checking previous post, i find it's also post unique picture with a bit of review. No problem about it :D. The topic is up to you.

Overall : 7/10 :)

I Am Buraot Review

Site Name : I am buraot

Blog overview : Don't know why the tagline of this blog is "A day in the life of antisosial", is buraot really antisosial? Well, but the bat logo is make the blog shown it dark side of the writter. Maybe it's purposed by the owner, nobody know. But blogging is social activity also. Right?

Design : Yellow and black backgroud is coloring whole of the blog. The template is using simple 3-column type with article place in the center of monitor. Not bad, even black-yellow makes the blog like dark blog, but it's relevant with the tagline. The homepage is not slowly opened, so it's comfortable to be visited. If i can suggest one thing, mostly people prefer to read text on another color but no black :D

Activity : Even there is no fixed schedule to post new article, Buraot quite active to update. He is also routinly post something in the chatbox.

Content : Unique is the one i can say after sightly reading the content which provided. The content is using same format type except article about contest. Buraot using this format : The [Number of article] List. But wait, LOL, after i seeing the 2nd page, just notice that the format is only used for article which related to entredropper. I find there is no fixed topic for this blog, i mean, this blog is flexible to write anything. No strange, because it's personal blog.

Overall : 7/10 Stars :D

Repition still live?

This is another post about the excistense of repition blog. Is this blog still live?
Simple answer is yes. But why there is not updated? I know, it's already 4 month with no update. This blog ever reach PR1 but then drop because no update. Ok, just conventional reason that i'm busy and sometime lazy.

And like an usual, there will be defense reason. But for this time, i hope this article will be the last post about Repition Excistense.

Planning for this blog, to make it live and rock again :
- Try to make at least 1 post per month. I'm not too much by saying 2-3/month, because sometime i'm lazy. Not only lazyness problem, but i have 5-6 blog which should managed and i'm college student.
- Reviewing site following this format :


[NAME OF WEBSITE REVIEWED]

- Some explanation about the blog -

- Design Review -

- The Activity review -

- Content Review -

Well, i will only reviewing via their homepage. Because homepage is the first impression of the blog. So even the content is good, but if the homepage bad, it's make there is less reader clicking your best content link. All about 1st impression.


- If this blog reach good result (get PR again, etc) i will considering make contest
- In previous post, i'm saying that this blog is also functioned as contest review blog. I'm considering it, and i decide to stop it. This blog is focusing on reviewing blog/site only, not a contest.
- In first plan when making this site, there is also state that this blog reviewing product. With some reason, it's so strange when one site write about product and site review. So, it's stopped also.
- In near time, i will try to pimp this blog layout, etc... to make it a bit good-looking :D

Yes, that is some of my plan regarding this blog. Hopefully you're patiently wait for new article and i'm looking for your comment/critique/suggestion. Thanks...!!!
