The Snooter

"Really, whats wrong with a little foot fetish?"

Look and feel: 4/10 ditto
Wit and amusement: 3/10 some
commentary: 1/10 very little
Extra: 1/10 Here I feel nice have a point for being in a blog ring.

TOTAL: 28% - There was just no fire. I'm not trying to be nasty tho' I'll bet some-one will think I am after all this Blog is review by request.

Standing Room Only

Sub titled "Love in the middle of war".

MINUS: A slightly wimsical feel to it. Unclear subject matter, difficult to get into
PLUS: Sujests strong depth and longevity. If you like this sort of thing you'll like it... one of those hard to pidgin hole blogs.

I couldn't really get to grips with this blog. I've visited twice now but... grr not sure just can't find the thread of topic.

He, (I asume it is a "he" it has quite a feminine style design in only a good way), has a strong written style and it scans well enough...

Rule #8: Make it clear what you are talking about.

Revisit: Yeah sure, why not.

Layout: 6/10 fair enough layout, simple and good
Look and feel: 9/10 It looked a visule treat
Wit and amusement: 4/10 I found it difficult to get "into" thus did not see the wit and amusment factor
commentary: 5/10 There seemed to be some for of social commentry with a strong story teller style
Extra: 5/10 4 points just for not feeling tempted to publish cacky short meaningless posts, and one more for including photo's...
