Site Name: VirusHead
Site URL: http://www.virushead.net/vhrandom/ Genre: Blogging |
Look and Feel:
Very colorful three column blog using two right sidebars. Very little in the way of header - just the title and a nice meet the author style photo. Very welcoming landing page.
Content:
Very well written articles. The content covers a broad range of topics and represents a cross section of the writers private life and their views on the world around them.
Ease of Use:
Fast loading clean look with easy to access and understand sidebars. The content starts from the top in a comfortable color, font and font size. Access to subscription services are well signposted and above the fold.
Suggestions:
It is hard to find any areas of criticism on this site. The criticism I do have are only minor - more in the nature of tweaking. The subscription services and the join me sections may look a little better if the icons were centered. The only other criticism I have is with the header and I am really in two minds here. I like the clean look that the page provides. Load it up and everything is there. However I feel that I am starting on page two, not on the front page, Perhaps taking the top one inch, where the title and photo are and converting them into a header with the green background may work. I just feel that something is missing from the top.
Conclusion:
This is a very attractive and easy to read site with very well written material. I feel like an intruder reading the top article as it is an obituary dedicated to the writer’s father. A very touching and compelling read. The rest of content is also a great read. I highly recommend this site. rating 9.5/10

Thank you for this lovely review!
Unlike some other blogs, VirusHead doesn’t have a “niche.” I write about all sorts of topics - politics, religion, theory, viral stuff, former Jehovah’s WItness issues, daily life. This eclectic approach is not very conducive to creating target demographics, but I’ve always preferred to have one blog rather than several mini-blogs (smile). I like the multi-facets.
I take your suggestions for improvement seriously, and I will incorporate them as much as possible. I actually prefer not to have an across-the-top banner image, but I’ll think about how I could address the feeling that something is missing from the top. I’d rather have the focus on the post as much as possible, but you’re probably right about the visual appeal. As a poet, I tend to condense everywhere (smile).
Thank you so much - It is a real honor to be reviewed here.
You’ve really done an excellent job on this review of Heidi’s blog. I read her “religiously” due to our similar upbringing, as well as her many other topics she writes about.
I think you’ve done a great job being fair and balanced in your review, so I wanted to be sure to mention it here. Good job!
Hi Lin
Thank you for taking the time to not just visit, but leave a comment as well. I hope I am fair in my reviews. I believe every site has its good side and I like to promote those aspects. I also believe that blog sites are continually evolving and some times it takes anothers point of view to see what is not quite working - that I hope is what I do.
cheers
