Blog

So, my brother's blog. I like it.
Here is a link to it, for those of you who want a frame of refrence. And check it out. It is cool and full of useful information.

I'll start with the low end details and go up from there. The backgroud is a nice colour. There aren't a lot of ads. In fact, I think there is only one. Just printed 3 times. That is nice not to be bombarded by ads. I suppose, because it is a Blog, they wanted to keep it simple. Hence solid colouring, a few basic ads. Good. Flashiness will then take away from the content. Which is the whole point.

I am not computer savy, but I found the site quite easy to navigate. I think any basic computer user could look for information on the site. The menu on the right doesn't feel quite right. I think it is missing something. Maybe it's the font. I don't know. Hot Topics I would move. Most sites tend to have that stuff as the fore-front of their page. But maybe that's not what they want. Despite my objections to the above, it very much looks and organized and presented to look like a blog. Which it is. So, it does work.

Have I read any of the blogging? A few. I like the blogs short and sweet. Once you bring in Techno-babble, the regular Joe might tune it out and not pay attention to what they are reading. The posts are just long enough to keep a person reading. Also, it is interesting to read about gadgets and gizmos that I will never come across. Unless I was in New York. And some of it, I wish I could get here. The Sony all in one system would be nice.

I'm still not sure about the RSS thing. I don't know what that is all about. Maybe someone can explain it to me.

I think that is about it. Not a lot of flash but the content is there. It does almost seem to be a bit empty. It feels like there should be more. But the site is new. I think the growth of the blog will come in time.

So, anybody who didn't click the link, scroll back up and check it out. Ignore everything I wrote and cast your own opinions. Maybe make a comment on what you thought of the site. Hey, you can email my bro and tell him what you think. I'm sure he'd love the feedback.
