In Review My Blog

This is my nth attempt at a blog, and by far the best. I'm a web-designer (and a damn good one at that) and I make professional blogs and online magazines for people, and I've always wanted one on my own. So instead of making a design (thats where my typical blogging attempt comes to and end) I chose to make a blog at posterous.com - I have no "niche" per se, I just blog abstract thoughts and sometimes I do stories, so I was wondering if you great bloggers would do the honor of reviewing my blog.

Thank you,

Nick.

Hi Nick

'Unique' - That is how I would describe your blog.  A nice template.  Vivid presentation.  No pop-ups; no distracting images or links;  And an easy and lucid style of narration. 

Keep it that way, Nick.  And let us have some more of those 'pennyless, but pound rich' thoughtsWink

Would appreciate, if you would have a look at my blog too.

Appreciate your review. I'm a web-designer by profession, keeping it clean is second nature :)

I've reviewed your blog in your page. Thank you.

really clean and nice blog with excellent design and outstanding writing.

One suggestion though; please add some widget which enables visitors to subscribe without hassles like "logging in" or "via RSS"... and please complete Cannes soon...the suspense is killing.. ;)

I loved your writing style, its interesting! Especially the stories..they have a very good flow! Keep it up!

But there isn't any way to follow you through google on your blog, I would have liked to see the updates of your blog on my dashboard.anyway, I have subscribed to you.

since I write episodic stories too, would like you to have a look! If you got the time of course :-) http://jsincro.blogspot.com

But you do not reply to your comments. I think you should interact a bit with the people who read and like your stuff, that makes people come back and read more.

Thank you! I wanted to use blogger too, but then again this gives me more control and more freedom. I have added the option to comment via Twitter/Facebook/Email/RSS etc. 

I've been reading your blog, I like your writing style too, I especially liked "My Choice!"

I have added your blog in my feed reader, looking forward to your future posts.

Thank you :)

Do you have a blog review link  ?

Awesome blog! Most elegant one ive ever viewed. However a few suggestions

  • Try to add more ways to navigate through your topics, adding Labels, archives etc.
  • Too many posts on the homepage, can restrict it a bit :)
  • And maybe add breakpoints too!

Review my blog too :)
