Blog In Review: Ilan’s Red Cowz Blog ™

HPOE!

I promised Ilan I’d do a review for his blog ages ago, so here it is, enjoy xD  I’m being a bit harsher because I was far to easy on the other kid…Brett, was it?

DESIGN

Ilan has bought Custom CSS for his blog, so he is able to personalise the blog.  He uses the Pool theme, and the colour scheme appears to be red, black and dark-ish blue.  The red text on the black background is far too contrasting, and hurts the reader’s eyes.  A paler tone would work better.  The background of the site is red and black abstract shapes on a plain blue background.  It is artistic, but not very interesting.  The Header looks good, and appeals to the viewer.  The font used is sometimeshard to read, and some text does not show.  The search button appearing on the top of the page looks messy and out of place.  The comment box also looks messy.

Rating – *** – Could be better, but is good nonetheless.

 

CONTENT

Ilan posts often, most of the time posting several times a week.  His posts range from short posts of less than 100 words to longer posts about deeper things.  His posts are extremely well written and informative and you can tell that alot of effort has been put into them.  He has many contests which engage his viewers, and pictures in most of his posts.  However, sometimes his posts are too short, and therefore are not recognized by many viewers.  Ilan, like Brett, needs to work on longer posts, even if they aren’t so often.  His pages are also well thought out.

Rating – **** – Extremely good,but inconsistent length is a problem.

OVERALL

Ilan’s Redcowz Blog is a fantastic blog and I encourage you to read it.  It has well-thought out posts and marvellous artwork, though the design of the site could be improved.  Ilan also deletes many comments and needs to work on replying and interacting more with his viewers.  It is a very good blog, nonetheless.

OVERALL RATING…… ***1/2

Have fun!
