Copyblogger

  • Follows a traditional blog format, e.g., posts are organized chronologically with newest at top.
  • Page readability is quite good. There is good use of separation between the three columns on the page, and longer posts provide jumps so readers can easily scan a handful of recent posts on the main page.
  • A “subscribe” announcement and RSS logo are prominent in the top left. Easy to find!
  • Search function is hard to find (far down the page in the right column). There is an “give us an email” entry where one would expect a search feature.
  • Ads almost clutter the right column, but they do not become overwhelming.
  • Many posts include photos. Helps add some spice to sometimes dry material.
  • Helpful categories: resources and popular articles make the blog a more helpful resource.
