Blog: www.ninetenthsfullofpenguins.blogspot.com/ (http://www.ninetenthsfullofpenguins.blogspot.com/)

Goals: The blog started as a personal outlet for my natural randomness, in many ways it remains that. I guess it is a reflection of me and my interests and what I think others may be interested in reading. So I talk about movies, music, pub quizzes, radio and things that either make me laugh or make me cross!

Design Goals: I haven't really done much with the design except tweak the basic layout and colours. As long as it is clear and simple, I don't really mind.

Audience: I know that a fairly broad spectrum of people read my blog, but I don't have a specific audience in mind.

I'm not really interested in making money out of it, but I would like to improve the blog. So all comments welcome....

Thank you!
Lee

Have you even considered getting your own domain for your blog?

Your list of labels is quite large. Have you consider displaying them differently somehow?

For some reason I don't like to read on black background. I have no idea why, but I prefer light background with dark letters.

Thanks Jelena,

I'd never thought of getting my own domain name for the blog, it was surprisingly cheap to sort out!

Thanks for your thoughts...

For me, the only problem is that it takes a while to load due to my dialup service which unfortunately, I can't change cuz I live in the boonies! I love your writing though and have bookmarked your blog to enjoy later when I have more time. You get a thumbs up for content, but I am not sure about the color scheme, lol, am just displaying my artistic viewpoint, don't take it seriously as I am just a rookie here. The name is what really draws my attention, fabulous move there! I wish I could think of something artsy for mine that is not already taken!

It's cool.

I never met anyone admitting their natural randomness.A friend that I know who is born all random :) gets offended when I notice that.

Good luck!

thank you very much sue and freediver!

I switched to the blue colouring last night. Still trying to tweak the appearance. I'll get there in the end......

I like it much better now Lee. Much more aesthetically pleasing. Good job!

I believe your goal to be to fill the last 1/10 with penguins. It makes you look like a slacker.

Possibly so, but I need the other 1/10th for storing tea and biscuits.....
