Swap Reviews

Hey I went through most of the review topics on the forum..and its evident that for one person to review all the blogs posted is a herculean task.. and what with indi's popularity growing everyday, the number of blogs added to the posts rises exponentially and making something which was supposed to be fun to become a mundane task..

...so I'm thinking we have a cycle..where you review a blog first..( even if you cant point out technical issues just a plain user experience will do too or may be you could read one post on the blog and review that post) and in return the other person will do the same..this way it wont be a single person's job to review all the blogs and on the other hand people who want reviews wont have to wait indefinitely to get their blog reviewed...

Its just basic karma... 

Give to receive  

Since a cycle has to begin somewhere let me start the ball rolling with my blog url

Hope you guys will find this idea useful.

Blog on. (sorry couldnt resist that one :P)

Thank you Satyajit, glad you liked the blog and thank you for for becoming a fan/liking us, whatever its called these days.

You have a very professional blog, very up to date and organised. However in the news section of the sidebar try to change the colour of the link. The blue colour doesnt go too well with the back ground( the only eye sore in your entire blog). As per the content you have a lot useful posts which I personally found very useful. Will definitely come back read up more. I think you should rearrange all your subscription and follow options and place them all together.

dear Bedlam jee

OR Manna Madam

Blog bahut accha hai.I used to think that ek theme par likhna chahiye par you have broken the rule nicely.

Layout rocks,doodles,writing style and pictures are good-blogging is for getting things that matter accross -so it shdn't be necessary to restrict to a theme.

Lekin doosre blog mein hindi ko angrezi mein likhna janchaa nahinFoot in mouthyeh forum mein hi chalta hai.Shayari acchi hai -kuch layout aur script mein change will make it rock.

mere blogs yahaan hai

hey Vijay

Thanks for the encouraging words!

kavita likhne waalon ka special problem hota hai - kisi se poochne par Pathetic ho jaate hain nahin pooche to jaan nahin paate ki kitne pathetic hain!Frownso any input on this count is welcome.

I really don't have much technical knowledge,so I make do with readymade blogger templates.I wish I had the expertise to move on to Wordpress and jazzy themes!!

Actually I write poems from time to time myself..so I know exactly what you mean...

As far as changing templates is concerened,,its not very difficult..after you have found a template you like download it..it will be .xml file

then go to Layout, then to edit HTML download your template and save it on your comp..

After that upload the earlier .xml file, hit preview, check if everything is alright, if it is click on save template, if you dont like it and want your old template back just upload the old saved file from your comp.

Hey you seems like an experienced blogger and your blog seems very well put together...

thats why I decided to review a post you made...I read the post about 9/11 photo...I must say I really love the research you put into the post..esp finding out the model of the plane and the fact that you found out the average temperature of New York in September..I also enjoyed reading the firemans video page...there was so much I dint know about the crash that I know now...

Great work...cant wait to read the rest of your articles...

check out my blog too:

You seem to have an attractive looking blog. That's my first verdict. Yet to go through articles.

hi Vijay !

I love  the concept,the pictures and layout of your blog.It already seems to be very popular and useful.

I would suggest shorter posts,snappier language and for my tired eyes a bigger font maybe?

I also like your concept of exchanging reviews.Laughing

Hey thanks im glad you liked the blog...ya I am working on the formating..thats the only problem with theme ...will sort it out soon...

First of both your links dint work...I dont know wat the problem is but I got thru the poetic break walla blog...I really like the wide variety of subject you write on...but in comparision your theme is a plain white..you should consider changing that..try googling "free blogger themes"..the choices are insane...

secondly your blog takes a long time to load..consider looking into some trimming and tweeking, maybe reducing the number of posts on a page..

Third and the most important..keep blogging would love to read more..

Glad you liked the concept.

Hey thanks for checking my blog out..i'll change the number of posts displayed....I'm glad you liked the blog.

As far as your blog goes, you are running a tight ship..the blog load timing is good, you are doing great on alexa...but you need to expand your side bar a little bit..fortunately i just read something about that today..

here is the link:

http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2007/05/change-width-of-your-blog-display.html

I kept getting this message even after repeated refreshing: "Error: Twitter did not respond. Please wait a few minutes and refresh this page."

So may be you should look into that...

Hope this helped...

cheers

Hi Vijay

Your blog is amzingly beautiful.

But do you mind reducing the number of posts per page to 1 or 2.

Now it takes a while to navigate the blog.

Please help me review my blog at Build muscle Burn Fat .
