Evaluate Blog: NilBLOG

There are benefits and disadvantages to making a blog through Blogger.com. Some blogs are very customizable, but difficult to make. Blogger.com, however, sacrifices personalization for simplicity and ease of use. Anyone with a very minimal knowledge of a computer could make a decent blog, and because of this, I like Blogger.com However, there are some drawbacks. Mainly, you can't really customize your blog. Besides choosing colors and basic templates, blogs are generally going to be fairly identical. With that in mind, let's take a look at Alan's blog, which it titled nilBLOG.
When first viewing his blog, the first thing that stands out to me is the background picture. The picture is of a few picture frames and a old phone, on an old, cracked plaster wall. An old television and chair is visible barely in the bottom of the picture. My assumption is that this was one of the many possible pictures available right from Blogger.com. It does, more or less, however, let the blog "pop" a little bit. And the color scheme works with the transparent black that separates the picture from the words of the blog entries. On the topic of blog entries; there is only one. It is titled This is not Friday, and says a little bit about what this blog will be about. Besides that, the blog is pretty much devoid of life. This is only expected though, because most students shouldn't have made any entries. I believe that the blog has potential to be very rich in content when Mr. Good begins to have blogging assignments.
Overall, the background picture looks good, and the color scheme is good. The writing is readable over the picture and it has good potential.
