It always a bit difficult to review a new blog as blogs tend to metamorphose through time thus acquiring a unique feel of their own. So, when a blog has just started out there’s not really much to write about except the few entries one might read and perhaps try a little foretelling as to where it’s headed.
One may also give advice as to how to make the blog more appealing if it the author really wants to get read (which is why the submit their site in the first place, isn’t it?)
Regarding Miss New Orleans, the blog has an overall good feel to it. Laurie Anderson is a 49-year old paralegal who says she’s been divorced 20 years and cracks a joke on that one. Good humor.
Her writing style flows easily and her entries range from pics to funny anecdotes and opinions regarding such things as driving, the Muppets vs Sesame Street (with a good line regarding pop trivia)a ghost story, family trips, bras and a girl’s night out… She certainly has good ideas.
It’s a nice place and it’s definitely going somewhere. Laurie strikes me as the kind of person who can entertain an audience with light-hearted posts that’ll make them smile.
The only suggestion I could give is the blogspot template. With so many free skins available, she can find another more interesting look for her blog. One that’s more in tune with the humorous style. Blogskins is a good place to start.
I can only give this blog a 3.5 as it’s so new. In a couple of months, she should surely get more than this.
