Review of Thinking Outloud

Tonight I reviewed the blog called Thinking Outloud.

The description of this blog is “my thoughts have come alive”. The first thing I notice when this blog loads on my screen is the header. It’s soft and attractive, and the flowers in both shades of gray and pink seem to match up well with the come alive statement. It takes me nine clicks to get from the top of the home page to the bottom.

The blog is currently on a two column gray, white and subtle pink theme. The category list is up at the top. Kim might want to consider moving the archive page higher up in the sidebar if possible. I would suggest taking a look at the placement of the disclosure policy as it is taking up two lines, as well as the yahoo links which isn’t fully visible.

Kim’s posts are of a nice length and consist of original content. I don’t know any sort of background info about her as there is no about page, so I’m left a little in the dark. Kim writes about a variety of random topics, mainly family, crafts, the internet and life in general. I do recommend that Kim add some pictures to her posts. The page is a tad bland after reading a while and an occasional picture would really make posts pop and break up the space.

For a blog that is just a bit over six months old Kim is off to a great start and doing a nice job. Go check out Thinking Outloud, and when you do please tell Kim that valmg sent you.

Hi! There, I still owe you a linkback for my travel blog. Sorry it takes so long, I’ve been somewhat very lazy with that blog, and my last update was back in Oct! :P

I promise I will do that this week. Whew! With this promise, I’m giving myself a deadline, otherwise I know I will delay it further! :P
