10 things I hate about your site

Writer’s Round-About is a great writer’s blog. Rebecca is insightful and posts timely content. This is great since content is king; however this blog suffers from cross-browser incompatibility and a wee identity crisis.

Our first review for September takes us to Tibet. At first glance, I was worried that I wouldn’t have many items to critique. Of course if I did reviews based on just my first glance, I wouldn’t get very far. So I clicked around and took some notes. Then I clicked around some more.

While a pretty sound blog, Let’s All Go to the Movies!!!! needs some help with categories and tags, among other things.

When you go to this blog, stop and get yourself a cup of coffee, a doughnut, and the paper. By the time you get back, it might have loaded. One of the biggest problems Willem has is his load time. But that’s not all.

10 8 things I hate about your site:

8. Typo…
