Madhu

and the particular link u have given is a 55 Fiction. So the content has only 55 words plus two extra line. So being a small post in itself , you tend to have that feeling. You look overall my site , my regular topics , i don't think I have overdone it. Well , its my take on it.

This is great info.

Thanks for sharing it. Being a Designer I can relate with all your points.

I see many blogs which have good content but lack appeal or to say design elements. A well dressed blog does keeps you sticked to it and looking for more.
