My A.D.D. kicked in and I found myself dreaming about Eva Longoria and waffles. On the upside, the posts were easy to read, not all boogered up with ads (rare these days), and posts NOT related to boring daily activities were actually pretty clever.I found the posts to be a bit long with the funny bits far and between.The author needs to be a bit more to the point in order to keep the reader from dozing off befo
Finding Boddie 2008-02-15 18:01:32 Hello, again, everyone! It's Madmad, reporting for review consolidation duty. I am sad to report that Finding Boddie did not do so well with our panel of reviewers. Unfortunately, the reviews were conducted before I had a chance to read the blog myself and weigh in.CategoryScorePointsContent4.5832/70Writing5.833/5Web Design52/5Intangibles4.332/5Read Regularly0.831/10Frequency84/5Total44Percentile Rank: 10Interestingly, what drew the most passion was the blog's design:Holy Geometric Backgrounds! I now have a headache from reading tiny font over a geographic design.I hate this layout. The brown, always a cheerful upbeat color, is littered with little geometric designs that take away from thewriting.... can we talk about the color she elected to use for her smallish-font? Oy.

Muramusu's Weblog 2008-02-11 15:14:49 Sorry, folks. Been busy on another project lately. You'll be hearing more about that soon.The review for Muramusu's Weblog has been languishing in the stack for a few weeks now, so let's get this over with.This is another one I feel a little bad about, because we just didn't get a whole lot of reviews for this blog. That may skewed the results a bit. That said, the reviewers who did weigh in agreed that Muramusu's Weblog was a bit short on the funny.CategoryScorePointsContent4.1129/70Writing5.783/5Web Design52/5Intangibles4.112/5Read Regularly1.111/10Frequency63/5Total40 Percentile Rank: 3 Some comments from the reviewers:Where did the funny go?

That's My Whole Thing 2008-01-28 10:42:46 Hi folks. Diesel here, introducing a new review summarizer, the Mad Mad Housewife herself. MadMad, whose blog just got reviewed here, has kindly offered to help me get through these reviews. This was a tough review to start with, because although That's My WholeThing
ended up with a decent score, not very many reviewers left constructive comments. I can't be too tough on the reviewers, though, because I could have submitted my own comments, and I didn't.Greg's blog definitely suffered from the length of the posts, and I think that several of the reviewers were confused or even turned off by his squeaky cleanness (like his fast forwarding through the 'naughty parts' of Titanic). However, he is a very good writer, and if you really look, you can find some very funny posts, such as the
Diary of a Mad, Mad Housewife 2008-01-27 19:38:25 I guess I'd better get this review posted, since its author has just volunteered to help me with these reviews. Fortunately, Madmad fared pretty well with our reviewers, so adding her to the review summarizers won't be awkward. (G has some personal stuff going on that is going to take her away from her duties for a while.)CategoryScorePointsContent6.1843/70Writing6.293/5Web Design5.183/5Intangibles6.123/5Read Regularly4.715/10Frequency63/5Total60 Percentile Rank: 66Did Madmad transcend the Mommy Blogger genre that gives several of our readers hives? Depends on who you ask. A number of our reviewers were impressed:This blog is pretty funny, Sarcasm is my favorite! Only issue I have is how long the posts are but I'd return to check it out again.I can relate to this blog, Read more:Diary

Riding with Rickey 2008-01-26 17:59:05 Occasionally someone leaves a comment here asking whether there are qualifications to be a reviewer, or if "just any [insert epithet here] can do it." I love this question, because it assumes that there is a big glut of reviewers out there fighting to review a limited supply of blogs. In fact, there are only a couple dozen people who are willing to do regular reviews, while at last count there are around 300 blogs waiting to be reviewed. At three per week, it will take 2 years just for us to get caught up. So in answer to your question, Mr. PhD in Blog Criticism, yes, any idiot/moron/jerk can be a reviewer. What would you have me do, interview prospective reviewers? "I see that you frequently comment on the consistency of your wife's gravy, and often tell people waiting in line at the Read more:Riding

Get Incensed 2008-01-25 11:03:28 Mark Jabo's blog, Get Incensed, got quite a positive reception from our reviewers overall. A couple of reviewers complained about the ads, but there were no other consistent negatives, and Mark was roundly praised for his writing and wit.CategoryScorePointsContent6.4745/70Writing7.054/5Web Design5.953/5Intangibles5.213/5Read Regularly6.326/10Frequency84/5Total65 Percentile Rank: 82 Let's get the negatives out of the way first:The font color is too light.This page keeps crashing Firefox.

Olga, the Traveling Bra 2008-01-23 16:01:27 Our reviewers weren't particularly excited about Olga the Traveling
Bra. There weren't a lot of strong feelings about the content either way, and they seemed to actively dislike the template and layout. Still, it ended up with a 50, which is a decent score.CategoryScorePointsContent5.136/70Writing5.33/5Web Design5.253/5Intangibles4.22/5Read Regularly33/10Frequency63/5Total50 Percentile Rank: 20 Let's start with the good. One reviewer thought it was hilarious:Very bizarre and unusual but I just can't stop laughing. Some of you may think, "What's the point? It doesn't make any sense." But really, does it have to?A few others were positive, if less enthusiastic:I like Olga's blog. She's a master (mistress?) at puns. Her blog is not especially hilarious, nor do I th
Dido Geezers Blog 2008-01-18 13:34:56 The Frogster checking in. Today I'm putting together the review for Dido Geezers Blog. And it's difficult. The reviewers were really all over the board.

The Smiling Infidel 2008-01-14 19:33:11 The Frogster here. Today I'm piecing together the reviewers' thoughts on The Smiling Infidel. I have a soft spot in my heart for elasticwaistbandlady (the blog's author), because she recently told me that she thinks of me whenever she sees a fruitcake. To have someone think of you when they see a fruitcake, well, that's special.

It's a Funny Thing 2008-01-10 23:58:41 Easy on the plaid vest people!Today we're taking a look at It's a FunnyThing
, a blog written by a fellow named Don. I use fellow because he's in a vest and is from a quaint rural idyll and just embodies the word. As it turns out, I enjoy his writing. Not all of the reviewers were bowled over, but I have a sense Don is on the upswing. He just might pick up some new readership, perhaps consider some of the worthwhile advice and his blog could be a real contender!

15 Minute Lunch 2008-01-08 11:00:23 Wow, I don't know what happened. I was looking for the remote under the couch one day and I found the review for 15 MinuteLunch
. For some reason I thought I had already done this one, but apparently not. Sorry, Johnny!Ok, so I'm just going to do a quick & dirty review to get this one done. 15 Minute Lunch scored very well overall with our reviewers, garnering an impressive 69, dude.

Deb on the Rocks 2008-01-05 19:17:17 G here.Finally, a blog that I'm familiar with! It's just that way back in my editorial assignment, I hadn't read many of the blogs reviewed. This was easy as I have popped over to Deb's blog and she's been pretty amusing in those posts. I think that overall, Deb fared pretty decently. As this post goes to publish, she is hanging in the Upper Ten rankings at Humor-blogs.com, so not too shabby.

DB glitch / Using the 'gigg' widget on other platforms 2008-07-23 12:10:33 On Monday we had a little database glitch
that affected the scores of many blogs. Our database ran out of space so I had to delete a bunch of older posts. The effect was that votes on these posts are no longer being counted in the scores. Fortunately, it affected everyone more or less equally, so the rankings didn't change much.Note that the score is a rolling 30 day total, so eventually the vo Read more:widget
