Review of Digital Jotter
This afternoon I reviewed Andrew’s blog, Digital Jotter.
Digital Jotter is displayed on a simple, clean white and soft gray two column theme. The header is nice but doesn’t quite fit with the title. The blog description is “a place for my digital jottings” so it could be the header reflects a place, in which case it sort of fits. The home page takes fifteen clicks for me to get from the very top to the very bottom of the page. The sidebars are so nice and neat!
Andrew offers a very nice About page! Nice background on him, his family and his interests.
Andrew’s posts are of a good length. He puts thought into his posts, and his knowledge and enjoyment of topics such as computers is clear. I only have two suggestions for Andrew, and both effect posts. The first suggestion is that Andrew try and use pictures a little more. Andrew’s pages contain ten posts. Most of the pages published contained one picture, one page contained two. There’s a lot of space and I think some pictures would break it up nicely.
Andrew’s blog is just under three months old and is off to a nice start. My other suggestion is that Andrew try and involve the reader just a little more. For me, I feel like I’m getting a lot of backstory or explanation, rather than conversation. If he can adjust the wording just a little I think he’ll do well. Go visit Andrew, and let him know valmg sent you.
