Disclaimer: This is the review of the contest winner Sherry’s blog Namesherry.com

The very first view on this blog would just give an impression that its a blog that’s not related to something specific, and its something like a random musings and talk from the blogger. But there are more things i can talk about the improvements than the good things in it.

As, first of all the page filled with ads all over, that is not well managed and can be done well if you want to have your readers feel that the ads are not over crowded. The design of the namesherry blog does match the topics in it, being highly colorful for a miscellaneous blog.
The overall setup of the blog is not quite impressive, one fact being blogger platform which does not support things like better placement and playing of widgets in the sidebar.

Some things i would suggest for Sherry to change in the blog -

• The double alexa widget buttons. Why are they two?
• I suggest not to place the feedburner subscriber count chicklet until you get a decent number of subscribers.
• “nameSherry Headline Animator” - What is the need of this in the same blog?
• Live traffic feed from FeedJit is also of no use.
• Try to have the banners move from the footer. Because, no one would really go till the footer when the main index itself is crowded, and if at all they go, they won’t like that many banners there.
• Do all the ads pay you something? Analyze that and try to reduce the ads and remove those which are not delivering anything.

And finally, this was actually not a correct time to submit this site for a review.. as your blog tag line says:
Bare with me… I am still in the progress of testing this blog..

Blogs under process of development and testing don’t get tested well. Anyways Sherry, with the changes made, your blog would look far better and good luck with it.

Sorry could not post any screenshots, am running on a slow speed internet.
