Easier Said Than Done
This is a re-review of Easier Said Than Done
I must admit that I was very excited when I saw Easier Said Than Done on the list of blogs to be reviewed. I've been reading this blog since I read its other review on here and I must disagree with the score it got.
This blog is by Nichole, a teenage girl with a pretty average life. She doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, and doesn't cuss (at least not that I know from the blog). Her entries are all different and all very wonderful. She doesn't update as often as some bloggers, which could be good or bad, depending on how you look at it.
The layout is beautiful, but beware if you don't like pink or green. I personally like these colors, and the layout is gorgeous! I just happen to know that it's one of the things that didn't win her any points on her last review.
There aren't really any extras on this site except for her forum and her pages, but that isn't so much an extra as just a fun place to talk to Nichole and some other friends. There are Google ads, which definitely aren't winning her any points, but they're hardly noticeable so they aren't losing any either.
All in all, I love this blog and have for awhile now. I'm very happy that she resubmitted it, because I don't think a 3 was such a great score for it. Taking into account the Google ads and the somewhat infrequent postings (along with the fact that not everyone likes pink), I think I'm going to have to give Easier Said Than Done a 4.5 out of 5. It's definitely worth a read, and who knows? You may end up loving it as much as I do.

One thing is very obvious when you visit Easier Said Than Done for the first time. PINK (with a hint of green). Stereotypically I expected a blog full of kittens, makeup and other girly things (hey, I'm a guy). I was wrong.
Pausing to put the pink in place I started reading. The blog covers a variety of topics, all of which it handles with intelligence and some passion but above all honesty. Whether discussing the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, where her future is headed, or even just a quick update on her weekend, Nichole writes in a very friendly and readable way showing maturity beyond her years. Posts are well constructed, and where applicable she offers a few links to pertinent sites, always a welcome addition to a blog post.
The layout of the site is fairly typical, with a sidebar of links on the left, and the design of the site is nicely themed without being distracting. Even the Google Ads at the top of the pages are subtle, allowing the content to retain focus. The only suggestion I would have would be to remove the slight gap between the post title and the post itself (they seem a little disjointed at present), but it's a minor quibble. Ohh and I mentioned the PINK, right?
Aside from the usual blog features, there is little else on the site - although she has just launched her own forum which I hope won't stop her from writing for her blog.
Overall the one thing that makes this blog worth a visit is the content. It may not be anything earth-shattering but at least it's well written and should appeal to most people.
