At First Glance: My first look at this blog filled me with dismay. Standard blogger template, which I hate and despise, and the font on every post is a different color. So, there are a LOT of colors on this blog. And all those dots on the template are just ....yuck.....

Template/Design: Again, I was turned off by the template. May I politely suggest you do a google search for "free blogger templates"? There are fratillions of 'em out there.

There aren't any ads, for which I bowed down to thank the Lord God Above. The side bar is neat and uncluttered, and her "about me" made me chuckle. However, the archive is at the bottom, so my suggestion would be to move it up, maybe under the "about me". Also, I like the "books just finished" section, because I READ STEPHANIE MEYER'S NEW MOON, TOO, THAT'S WHY!!!

Content: Dear Tiny 6.8 ounce baby Jesus: Thank you so much for letting me get this blog to review. Because Emily is a GREAT WRITER! I laughed, I cried... no wait, I didn't cry, I just laughed... and then laughed some more. She's sarcastic and funny and fresh and cute. Hell, the whole family is CUTE! The blog is a bit picture heavy, but I had no problem loading it, and honestly, in my opinion, the pictures just make me love this blog more. I am unashamedly a fan.

What is the first thing I would change about this blog? The template. Definitely. Because Emily? Your blog should LOOK as good as it IS.

What is the best feature of this blog? Lordy be, aside from the template and the "font of many colors", I love it all. Great pictures, great writing, great people. And, she made this. How could you not love her, after that?

Rating: 8.5
I started with an 8, but, I love her writing, and her husband is cute as a bug. So, extra credit!

At First Glance: It's red.... really, really, red. And it's a red I don't like. Blood, it looks like blood. I gotta tell you, I'm getting sort of nauseous just looking at it. Deep breathe.... in with the good air... out with the blood, er.. I mean bad...

Template/Design:
I'm not diggin' so much on the header, but mainly because I don't understand it. And of course, there's all that red... While I'm at it, I hate dark blogs with white fonts. It's hard to read, and "hard to read"="I'm not gonna read much." Let me stop here and say the blog is not ugly. It's well laid out and neat. The sidebar is uncluttered and archives are easy to find. The look just doesn't appeal to me, personally.

Content:
This is where my love/hate relationship with this blog begins. Or, maybe not love/hate, maybe it's more a "Dear Jesus, could you write any MORE about Star Wars or Politics"/"Oh my heck, that was fucking hilarious!" relationship. This guy writes really well. Some of it is hilarious. Some of it was very interesting. Most of it bored the complete and utter fuck out of me. Again, my own opinion. I would say check out his blog, it's worth at least a half hour or so of your time. Then make your own decision.

A couple of things I liked:
1. He says "fuck" a lot. Hee. That's always a good way to get my attention.
2. He can be very sarcastic, which of course, makes Chicka go, "Yay!"

A couple of things I didn't like:
1. He has a "Donate" button at the top of his sidebar. Dude, very, very uncool.
2. He links to about a gazillion things in his posts. I lost interest pretty quickly with all the going hither and yon.
3. I don't have a clue about his identity. I searched to try to find out his age... He's not VERY young, nor is he VERY old... other than that? Who knows? I'm all about privacy (hello? my name is not really Chicka) but I'd like to at least know a LITTLE about the person whose blog I am reading.

What is the first thing I would change about this blog?
The red background, and the white font color. And seriously, the "Donate" button.

What is the best feature of this blog?
The writing. Absolutely. He's well educated, and even the boring shit is well written.

Rating: 7
I was gonna give it a 7.5, but I'm completely repelled by the "Donate Button".
