Blog Being Reviewed: PaperSurfer
Reviewed by: Naughty Nina
At First Glance: What a beautiful banner! It’s pretty actually - but not in an overly feminine way because it’s a man’s blog. Good start so far surfer dude, love the first impression.
Template/Design: Neat & tidy and not overly crowded or screaming with stupid advertisements so I’m totally down with it. It’s simple and everything is pretty easy to find. I like the “Topics” section where you can pick a subject he’s got there and it’ll take you to his posts that relate to it. I also love the muliple pages - the "help" page (has lots of tidbits of information on internet stuff) and the "about me" page has a good introduction to the author.
Content: Honestly, it’s just “meh” for me. I guess if I were a friend or relative of the authors (or a stalker) I would enjoy it because more often than not the posts are just daily updates of what he’s up to… work, surfing, not surfing, the weather - just blah blah blah stuff. If you’re a sufer like he is though, he has lots of surfing tip posts so those would be interesting to people who are into that.
He's also got potential to be a great writer, I just don't think he has the time... you can feel his love for surfing in the way he describes it here. He does have a sense of humor too but it doesn't come out that much - I did get a few giggles here and there though and with the little snippets of conversations he has with someone named “AD”.
What is the one thing I would change about this blog? Nothing I guess. He has a lot of readers so he’s obviously doing something right, maybe just not for me. I guess maybe having more interesting posts on a regular basis would do it for me.
What is the best feature of this blog? The pretty banner and how neat and tidy and in-it’s-place everything is.

As the boy's father I feel I have to say something.
"Hmmmm"
Gosh, that's better.
Even though Penfold is nearly 40, he still needs his Dad's help every now and again.
I hope you don't mind me being so brutally honest.

Dad - as usual you have been an inspiration to me, a rock I can cling to in the vast storm of existence, a pillar holding the temple of my life aloft. Did I mention arse....?
Nina - your query to 'knocking one out' has been duly noted and answered in the comments of 'er...'.
Thankyou for your loverly review. It was very interesting and regular.
Don't worry son - they're only girls
I wish I had a great dad like that. But as usual, I got what I got...
