really good blog.... its nice...

http://ballat.blogspot.com

I must confess I am delighted, after a very very very long time,  to read good pieces of writing.

Here is my view and review:

1. To me content is the king and vocabulary is the queen. By vocabulary, I mean the choice of words. I take painstaking care to choose a particular word over the other. Your ‘word-choice’ is delightful and pleasant.
2. Symmetry to a blog, it is my opinion, is like a sari to a woman. A synergy of different elements bring a sense-appeal, the one that  John Keats said, ‘a sense of beauty…a joy forever.’ Your blog has both beauty and joy.
3. The headings in your side bar are both innovative and provocative(positively used). They are surely off the beaten track.
4. Since you honestly state that you are a muddled, confused, mixed-up blogger (embrouillé ), I would but agree to it. The ideas fly, though spontaneously, from one to another, that at times I was left gasping. You could take note of that.
5. You sure have a working knowledge of French or it so looks for you used the right word ‘le’ for the masculine and not ‘la’ as a novice would do.
6. Your fusing of the French word ‘méprise’ meaning (=erreur) mistake, error or   (=malentendu) misunderstanding with the Latin phrase ‘et al’ meaning ‘and others’ is intriguing, to say the least. Thus méprise et al would in fact have no meaning on its own except the one derived by the user –You! Thus we have a muddled, confused, mixed-up blogger, talking about his mistakes, errors and misunderstandings.
7. That you added new word at the end tell me that you are a lover of words. It is seen in the choice of your blog’s name and its tag.
8. That you put only five posts in the blog shows you respect the reader. Else he would sure be lost in the maze of the posts.

Buddy had time for this…Will catch up later…hope it helps…
