  • Life as i know it Sep. 4, 2008
    This emerging personal blog is focused on conscious living, personal development, self improvement and peace. The layout is clean and easily navigated. The thoughtful posts are brief, concise and very well written. They reveal that the blogger behind the writing is a sensitive and caring person who is environmentally aware and determined to make a difference in his own realm of influence. I have subscribed and encourage others to do likewise.

  • The Tragic Optimist Mar. 21, 2008
    I have been a reader of this emerging blog for some time now and I enjoy visiting it and seeing what the latest post may be about as the variety of topics covered is very broad. The posts contain musings of a wife, mother, librarian and a gentle spirit whose personality shines through the writing. I particularly enjoy the photographs that gives us readers a bird's eye view of the times and travails of this young family. The theme chosen for this blog is appropriate to the eclectic content. The blog is well organized, accessible, easily navigated and the sidebar is clutter free. I like what I see and what I see is a great deal of potential for growth.

  • Here I Go Again Mar. 5, 2008
    The archives contain posts dating back to 2007 there are only 36 posts & few comments . An examination of the blog reveals that it's written in a diary style & is outside any specific niche. The posts lack keywords, tagging and authoritative links and no brand has yet developed. If this blogger was so inclined, the quality of the blog would be enhanced and the traffic flow could be increased by learning and applying basic SEO and applying it. The template is very common and very bland. IMO an updated theme would better reflect the personality found in the posts and may be more pleasing to readers eyes as well. I was unable to find an RSS feed icon or an email subscribe button, and likewise I could not find a "blogged" badge on the blog itself and I believe they should be added.

  • VIKAS GUPTA Jan. 22, 2009
    This charming blogger is busy now thanks to assignments, Ph.D. synopsis, incoming exams and other sundries. He's unemployed, single, poor and dying to change the status quo by getting a good job and marrying. His blog is a fascinating read that's well supported with comments from faithful readers. The posts which span a large range of topics are well written, creative, informative and entertaining as well. The layout is attractive, easily navigated and accessible to readers. It's my pleasure to be a subscriber. :)

  • A little piece of me Jan. 11, 2008
    This personal blog is unique and outstanding in so many ways that I'm not going to even attempt to list them. The theme is unique and the header is perfectly suited to the blog and its blogger. Good use is made of static pages that provide a brief bio, great photos, counseling notes, hiking notes and doodles. The blogger is a compassionate, charming, funny, bubbly, bitchy and absolutely precious young woman - she's the real thing. Her indomitable spirit and sense of humor flow throughout her entertaining and well written, original posts. I &hearts this blog. There's nothing I would change in it and that's the truth.

  • Catholic Christian Homeschooling Oct. 19, 2009
    This is the blog full of well written and engaging posts containing information for Catholics, Christians and Non-Catholic-Christian Homeschoolers straight from a dedicated mom who homeschools. Some posts are focused on relating stories and tips based on the blogger's personal homeschooling and parenting experiences and are both enjoyable and informative reads. As a person who was homeschooled and who would have done the same if I would have had children I can recommend this blog without hesitation.

  • The Aspiring Horseplayer Jan. 11, 2008
    This is a highly informative blog on the horse racing industry, written by an enthusiastic fan with a broad base of knowledge. He has taken a heroic stand that includes championing the causes of having drugging totally removed from horse racing, standing against breeding for speed alone, getting the young under-developed 2-3 year olds off the track, as well as, supporting research to determine what the optimum surface for horses to run on really is.

  • Confessions of a Mystic Jan. 20, 2009
    "Mystics will tell the truth, at whatever cost. When it comes to the existence of life which remains unseen by others, but is so very clear in their eyes, they are willing to die in order to prove their convictions. But, before doing so, they attempt to prove the truth of their convictions, by telling their own story. Here, in the noble tradition of my predecessors, is mine." Thus began my adventure in this blog of true stories of spirituality, mysticism, metaphysics and the paranormal. I'm a fascinated reader and subscriber.

  • A Wide Angle View of India Jan. 11, 2008
    It's my opinion that this is an outstanding blog. Every well written and informative post is backed by extensive research, and every post is thought provoking. The blogger engages her readers in deep and meaningful discussion in a manner that very few bloggers are able to master. I have learned much from this blog, not only about India and her people, but also about how to write in a manner that encourages discussion.
