Bring it one dude!!!
Hi Addy,
General
What started as open, online diary is starting to take some shape as a blog... (that quite explains your template, which is an open diary). None of your posts till Feb 10 can be seriously called a blog post. I don't know what valentine day did for you, but for me, your blog starts from Feb' 2010.
I know you have all essential widgets in your blog, but your widget take up half the space in your blog. While reading the blogs, the widgets distract me too much, as they keep coming in my view while reading. Why such second-hand treatment to your content?
Negatives
No Justification of text. Left align is irritating and difficult to read on screen and takes away the nice look and feel.
Writing with .... and without vowels. I guess you need to work hard to improve on this habit. Too much texting and IM can take a toll on your writing - there is nothing a reader despises more, deliberate bad writing and grammar.
Editing. Need a lot of it. Keep changing your font, styles (bold, italics etc.) does not help you put across credibility in your posts. Be careful.
Content. Its weak to say the least. I mean most of your posts are personal and about what you did do and did not do. I am not too sure as a stranger, much of what you write, I would relate to that and make me coming back again and again. What is needed is your attitude, rather than stock of what happened with you. You've got so many people following you and you are famous on Indiblogger too. There lies a certain responsibility with you to give good, quality posts to these readers. Posts on Valentine day, girl and guy can't be friends, moral police etc. were the kind of posts I would expect from your blog.
Narration. Most of the blog posts you have, are dialog based. I am not a great story teller, but what I have seen of the better people is - a lot less details and some make up for the dialog. You do not need to put the dialog exactly the way it happened. Some creativity can creep in your thoughts while writing, so that it is best put in words without loosing the essence of the post or what you trying to convey.
Positives
Humor is certainly there in some of your post, but mostly cheesy, chick-lit kinda humor. You can hook young readers through them.
Your inspiration for posts is through what you see around. That way, you can never run out of ideas to write a post.
Your blog title. Its catchy and you use it to good effect in words with 'Add' in them.
Keep blogging,
Cheers,
Sachin
