The VirusHead blog has been reviewed by The Radical Blogger<\/a>! <\/p>\n

Rating 9.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Site Name:<\/strong> VirusHead<\/strong><\/p>\n

Site URL:<\/strong> http:\/\/www.virushead.net\/vhrandom\/<\/p>\n

Genre:<\/strong> Blogging<\/td>\n

Look and Feel:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Content:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Ease of Use:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Suggestions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is hard to find any areas of criticism on this site. The criticisms 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.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 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<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"review<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ll be working on incorporating this feedback on some of the design issues. I prefer not to have an across-the-top banner image, but there are other ways to address that concern. As a poet, I tend to condense everything; there probably needs to be a little more white space, what my hubby calls “airing it out.” I’m trying to balance these sorts of design issues with the fact that I really want to focus attention on the post itself (never mind the pretties, start reading). <\/p>\n

One thing I want to adjust in the stylesheet is the way that links are handled in the sidebars. I’ve been meaning to do that for about a month (smile).<\/p>\n
