My first impression was, ‘interesting name.’ When I got to the blog, I
was presented with a nice unique layout. Scropio is all over this site, from the
name to the cute drawing on the design.
What I liked the most about the site was the poetry section. Loved the organisation, and the fact that you could see an exerpt of each poem. I also liked the section that tells you about scorpios. I would have liked to see more about the author in the about me section, especially about her personality and if she has some of those scorpio traits. Another interesting aspect of this blog is the “Free for all Fridays” or FFAF, where anyone can post entries on fridays by following a few simple steps. The visitors who posted really had some interesting things to say. This section is a hidden gem, because as it is now, you really wouldn’t know about this unless
you are looking through the archives. I would have loved to see a link in the
sidebar, so we could click and see entries from this category. What I believe could be improved upon is the posts in general. Apart from the Free for all Friday, the posts are very short without much details.
The design was unique and reflected the scorpio theme from the background to the graphic illustration of a young girl with a scorpio tail wrapped around her neck. The layout was the standard 2 column layout, with one column being her blog, and the other, sidebar, having the navigation, recent posts, comments, favorite links, blog roll … on and on it went, maybe too much information in one spot.
Overall, DizzyScorpio’s blog was good. The design was unique, the site is updated frequently and it has some interesting sections such as the poetry, about scorpios and FFAF. Making the posts longer and a bit more detailed will make it a great blog.dizzyscorpio
