Puppy Fast is a professional looking blog about raising a puppy.  The theme looks custom, and is definitely not an out of the box Blogger theme, so that is a definite plus.  The dog pictures along the top are sharp and high resolution, drawing immediate attention to the navigation links just below them.

Obviously Puppy Fast is a blog that is out to make a name for itself.  The posts are very detailed, though I did find the text to be a little bit too small.  Perhaps bumping the text size up a notch or two would improve the readability of the blog.

One thing that I think the admin of Puppy Fast should watch out for is the sidebar.  It already has quite a few widgets on it, and all those links to directories are not very attractive.  Currently the site loads pretty fast, so it would be a pity if more widgets or images were added and ended up ruining this.

Personally I think that a lighter sidebar with fewer images and widgets would be a plus, because it would direct more attention to the post content.

I was impressed by the unobtrusive advertising: small boxes which were actually helpful links to sites selling puppy supplies.  Please don’t change this.  Adding Google AdWords or some other ad service would ruin the blogs professional appearance.

Overall I feel that Puppy Fast will be a great pet blog in the near future.  Keep up the good work!

I am going to review the blog – A naked opinion. During the review process I will discuss some suggestion and tips for the blog and I hope it will improve your blog.

Improvement Options:

• Change your layout first. Please select some lite color for your template layout other than dark one.
• Create a custom header image for your blog.

• You can choose a 3 column layout where content part is located in the middle section of the blog.
• If you have keep the section on ‘About me’ then you should tell more about you and the full details on the blog.
• It will be better if you would like to keep a section on ‘Blogroll’ where you can exchange your link with relevant sites.
• Submit your site to some blog directories and social media site.
• Add a good title – that describes your blog the best.

To make it easier, I am giving my review in two topics namely ‘points I like’ and ’suggestions for improvements’.

Points I like:

1. This blog is very much versatile. You deal with more topics like politics, trivia and reviews rather than revolving arround just one topic which may cause boredom sometimes.
2. The way you simplified politics is really nice. You made common man understand on Financial and railway budget.
3. And I feel you are quite unbiassed though I dont have more clues on that.
4. I have to say your blog is very informative and entertaining. I dont feel bored other than a few places which I would discuss in my next topic.

Suggestions for Improvements:

1. I would like you to take care on your topics such that it explains the content. you have infact done this to most of your blog but keep this in mind.
2. Your first page seems to be very much cluttered. may be you can consider removing few gadgets.
3. I would suggest you to make small paragraphs in reviews. this would reduce bpredom.

Over all this is nice blog. I indeed decided to follow this blog.

Ok , so this is a blog I would really love to review for 3 simple reasons :

1. I am Bangalorean

2. I love food.

3 . I love travelling.

So would I refuse something irresistable ? Nah .

Now lets start the business of reviewing. The latest post on the topic , I stumbled was on a Thai restaurant and thai food but sadly I am a veggie , I read it though , why ? Wait will tell .. Then I moved to the next post – Perfect Scrambled eggs .. Hmmm complete with a youtube link on making it but then again am a ghas phus ! But still i read … Next , was about an Italian restaurant Oh poor me .. my taste buds have not yet gone beyond Indian shores and its foods … But I did read it too ! Guess why ? The narration is really tempting to read ! Suman’s love for food shows in her review and she beautifully manages to cook it in words too !

So if you love food and If you love non-veg , and if you live in bangalore or visiting bangalore or have friends , relatives , enemies ni bangalore  dig into FTB you will really enjoy  the food and the reviews !

Even if you happen to be a Veg like me or non bangalorean and have made a vow never to visit the city still you can read it just to savour Suman’s writing ! It is utterly , butterly,delicious blogging style !

Any blog that discusses politics will find it very hard to remain unbiased. It’s simply the nature of the beast.

Political Friends is no exception.

Although the blog covers world events, the content is U.S.-centric in that it explores how such events could affect America’s foreign policy or interests.

While the author does make a very real effort to “discuss topics of the day without the name calling that seems everywhere in the mainstream media”, his own political views often come to the fore, and you may not always agree with them. That said, if you’re one of those people who’s open to other points of view, it makes an interesting read for an insight into the views of an ordinary American. In responding to comments, the author seems polite and tolerant of dissent. Lots of book recommendations too.

The blog is well-written, seems to be updated regularly, and is obviously a labor of love – to my mind, three of the best reasons to read a blog.If politics is your thing, American politics in particular, I’d say subscribe.

I usually stay away from the “How to make money online” blogs and sites.  However, I was very impressed with Rumbling Lankan.  The first post I read gave me an idea for my own blog.  This was a simple post that highlighted other posts the author read during the previous week and enjoyed.  I thought it was a great idea for a post, and provided some very useful information to the readers.

The blog looks to be regularly updated, so I would recommend subscribing to the feed, or making it part of your morning coffee routine.  The blog itself is clean, and not very cluttered.  There are a few adds on the site, but it really doesn’t distract from the content.  There are a number of comments on various posts, so I assume it has at least a dedicated following.

I am adding the site to my feed, and if you are looking for some new ideas for your own blog, I would give it a try.
