6 Out of 10 … I’ve Got Some Work to Do
WhyDoIBother.com was reviewed recently by Bloggy Award and found lacking.
While I’m not broken up about the review, it is a little discouraging. Unlike The Cruel Offender, however, this review is constructive and helpful. There are specific points to work on, and some suggestions on how to improve the overall appeal of the site.
“This site is more or less what one would expect of a personal blog. Some talking about Bother’s career, a rant about another blogger, and then some other daily minutiae. He has a good style, but not a whole lot to say to a reader.
EXCEPT: he has a really good Moroccan recipe posted that I am going to have to try. If he’s going to do this sort of thing more often, there is potential for this blog to rise up out of the bland and into the spicy.”
On the good side, my recipe for Tagine was a hit apparently. The fact that this recipe was part of the review tells me that the reviewer took some time to look beyond the front page. That adds some validity to the critique for me.
I do think that they missed the point on my complaint about the Cruel Offender, but it seems that it wasn’t received well by everyone at the time I wrote that post either. Maybe it was me who didn’t explain my point well enough.
